Pinkmouse Posted November 6, 2010 Share Posted November 6, 2010 Personally, I would never buy from anyone who showed that much disdain for typography. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

tomstaf Posted November 8, 2010 Share Posted November 8, 2010 Are Bratchell still making the Class 456's? Hi John, I think they are despite not appearing on the website. I purchased some earlier this year after without any problem after sending an email request. Kind Regards Thomas Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LaGrange Posted November 20, 2010 Share Posted November 20, 2010 Hi all, Hopefully modellers will support James by buying his latest releases! I would if they were cheaper! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Scottish Modeller Posted November 21, 2010 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted November 21, 2010 I would if they were cheaper! Ok... So is or isn't £99.00 ready to motorize a reasonable price - Really? I wish I could take this kit, build it, paint it, sell it at that price!! For the work involved - my opinion is that this IS a reasonable price! When you bear in mind the selling price of the kit.... Thanks Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burkitt Posted November 21, 2010 Share Posted November 21, 2010 £99 ready to motorize? The cheapest train on their website, the three car 320, is £212 Ready to Motorise. You still need to spend £40 or so on a motor bogie on top of that, then fit it yourself. Lighting for head, tail and interior would require further work. Bratchell make very impressive models, which would not otherwise be available, but they are pretty expensive. Paul Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul Hi paul, OK - I take your point as I misread James original email to me. However - 318252OB8 1986 orange & black Strathclyde Transport liveried 3 car RTA model + silvered framed flush glazing ONLY £ 99 So - you have to buy wheels, motor unit, make pickups etc on top of this. Currently this model if bought RTR (Yes - I've just had a price) is £400.00 Given the saving in time for the paint job - I still think that £99.00 is a good price.

puffmeister_general Posted November 21, 2010 Share Posted November 21, 2010 Yip ordered mine when the original email was released. It still is a vastly reduced price for the Bratchell 318 model which is essential for my modelling needs. I opted for the RTM service which is £167. I agree it is expensive for an emu model but at the same time a huge saving on the normal cost of £412. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordon Connell Posted November 30, 2010 Share Posted November 30, 2010 Only just saw this and thought rats to missing the date. Then realised I want it in carmine and cream anyway and have no faith in my ability to repaint from the orange and black. Gordon Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete the Elaner Posted December 8, 2010 Share Posted December 8, 2010 Hi Gordon, I think you just need to watch this space for that livery..... Thanks Agreed. Be patient. I have not seen what I am interested in yet: a 319 or 321 is NSE. I am sure they will be along shortly.... As for price; they are really good kits, most of which are for models otherwise unavailable. Unitl they start selling in their thousands, (which just isn't going to happen because a 321 doesn't have the glamour of an A4) then the expensive cost of the tooling will have to be reflected in the kit price. You do not need as many units as locos because they are more anonymous. Which is more obvious - a blue/grey 310 trundling back & forth or 87001 Royal Scot hauling every Inter-City on a layout all day? You would need a fleet of 87's & 86's to make this look right while the unit would go relatively unnoticed. On that basis, I don't think the kits are too bad at all.
