gordon s Posted December 1, 2011 Share Posted December 1, 2011 Just to let you know the composites are in stock at Hattons. R4521 from memory. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Max Stafford Posted December 1, 2011 Share Posted December 1, 2011 Just been advised that my order with them has been processed. Brake thirds may not arrive before Christmas though, but that may allow me to finish the loco intended to haul them! Dave. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
pcc4199 Posted December 1, 2011 Share Posted December 1, 2011 Thank you gordon s for your post, my wallet has been emptied again! BTW, I notice Hattons are only deducting 17% VAT, not 20%. Cheers. Andy Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pint of Adnams Posted December 1, 2011 Share Posted December 1, 2011 I think some 4-compartment brakes of the diagram Hornby are doing were converted for push-pull too. According to the LNER Society info sheets Diagram 65 = 86141, 86145, 86147 (all converted July 1949), 86072, 86134-86135, 86138 (all converted September 1949) 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
coachmann Posted December 1, 2011 Share Posted December 1, 2011 None of the 4-compartment push pulls ones ran Guide Bridge to Oldham, hence my specific query. Fozzy doesnt do one either tough luck. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
frobisher Posted December 1, 2011 Share Posted December 1, 2011 BTW, I notice Hattons are only deducting 17% VAT, not 20%. Remember that VAT is added at 20% to the base cost, so to deduct VAT at the current rate you subtract nearly 17% from the retail price (100/120 = 0.8333).

pcc4199 Posted December 2, 2011 Share Posted December 2, 2011 frobisher, Thank you for the clarification, I thought non-EEC orders got the full 20% VAT reduction. Cheers. Andy Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fenman Posted December 2, 2011 Share Posted December 2, 2011 (edited) Thank you for the clarification, I thought non-EEC orders got the full 20% VAT reduction. If something costs £100 and you add vat at 20%, it adds up to £120. If you then remove the £20 vat from that total to get back to £100, you're actually only taking off about 17% (since £20 is 17% of £120). If you took 20% off £120 you'd have £96 left (since 20% of £120 is £24) - -so that's clearly not right! You have not been cheated out of any cash -- it's just the way percentages work!

pcc4199 Posted December 2, 2011 Share Posted December 2, 2011 Fenman, Many thanks for your math lesson, gives me a better idea of how VAT works for export. Just thankful that VAT is deducted. Cheers. Andy Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy As long as the parcel is not intercepted by customs and they put the Vat back on On another note the Gresley Suburbans look terrific behind a Kernow/Dapol BWT.. They make a great substitute for all that missing, never produced (as yet) eartly SR coaching stock... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The diagrams 317/320 for Scotland (86983/4,86997 were different (see Isinglas drawing). Alan Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium 7013 Posted December 3, 2011 RMweb Premium Share Posted December 3, 2011 (edited) As a previous poster said when Hornby get it right they are superb abd these coaches prove that. I have absolutley no need for these but I am sorely tempted by the fact they are so good, even better than the Hawksworths if that is possible? Perhaps Hornbys future is in fine coaches??

PWSlack Posted December 8, 2011 Share Posted December 8, 2011 Some EM gauge conversions appeared last night and they look very good. The ones on show were maroon, and a little gentle weathering made all the difference. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The ones on show were maroon, and a little gentle weathering made all the difference. You are right. They look too clean and should be weathered. I just don't have the heart to do it yet.

neal Posted December 10, 2011 Share Posted December 10, 2011 I picked one of the 3rd LNER teak ones up today, not my era or region, but it is just such a beautiful model. My justification for running it, is as a works coach behind my sentinel. N Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
S.A.C Martin Posted December 11, 2011 Share Posted December 11, 2011 I can't wait to get my hands on them on the 25th...have the perfect Hornby Thompson L1 tank engines for pulling them too. Just magic. Regarding the teak - did they survive quite far into the 1948-52 period? I was thinking a single rake of teaks, or an appropriate combination of teak and maroon, might help with my intention to recreate a little corner of Leeds.
