pwr Posted December 2, 2020 Share Posted December 2, 2020 They do seem to be the best figures on the market in my opinion. Don't have any myself but I am thinking of investing Paul R Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
47606odin Posted December 2, 2020 Share Posted December 2, 2020 It was always an issue before 3D scanning and printing came along just how unrealistic figures were in the larger scales. Wasn’t such an issue in 00 as you couldn’t see the features of the people anyway 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baggies1961 Posted December 2, 2020 Author Share Posted December 2, 2020 Digitrains just rang, 08 stopped as paint I used to weather it had worked through to pick ups and caused it to stop. Strange as it ran after I weathered loco a lesson learnt there, but have to say great service yet again from digitrains and its being loaded onto a low loader again for its journey back. 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phil It's not the sellers fault people have bid that much. Needless to say there are several more Heljan wagons listed now and I'm not surprised given the box shifters had them at under £50 towards the end. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baggies1961 Posted December 18, 2020 Author Share Posted December 18, 2020 I agree absolutely Hal supply and demand, its final selling price was £246! Amazing that as you say they were almost given away by the retailers. Someone wanted it really badly obviously. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andrew P Posted December 18, 2020 Share Posted December 18, 2020 I saw it, when I bought the Brown ones they were £35 but that Railfreight was always £75 I think, at least, that is what I paid for mine.

I bought a few , wish I'd got loads now though! 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also got 6 of the Red Oil Tanks at £35 each but moved them on at NO Profit. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baggies1961 Posted December 18, 2020 Author Share Posted December 18, 2020 Im sure Heljan are aware modellers want a re run of very popular useful wagons mainly as there are very few modern image rtr readily available. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baggies1961 Posted December 19, 2020 Author Share Posted December 19, 2020 A Shark Brake would be an ideal new wagon to compliment there cat and dogfish wagons. 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
