nerron Posted April 1, 2011 Share Posted April 1, 2011 Hattons are listing this,but as yet no photos.The A4 in the pack is Kingfisher (4483) with the number 5331! Does anyone have any further details,in particular the livery of the A4? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DougN Posted April 2, 2011 Share Posted April 2, 2011 Ron, I did a quick Google and came up with a few Ebay items. it seems it is an LNER liveried loco, and 3 New style teak coachs including the Buffet. At 150quid it seems exceptional value. loco looks to be new full spec version not the railroad But the photo's weren't great so I could be wrong on that count! Having just purchased Silver link I think the other half may kill me if I bought another LNER A4.. (already have SNG, the duck, Sir C. Newton...)

Roy P Posted April 2, 2011 Share Posted April 2, 2011 This pack is available @ Hattons http://www.ehattons.com/StockDetail.aspx?SID=39381 no pics yet (found while ordering the Rare Bird Pack - Two Kingfishers? hmmmm!) RP Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roy P Posted April 2, 2011 Share Posted April 2, 2011 Having just purchased Silver link I think the other half may kill me if I bought another LNER A4.. (already have SNG, the duck, Sir C. Newton...) Sorry to hear that! I own 16 Bachmann A4s and 5 of the new Hornby ones and it was my "other half" who paid for the Kingfisher / Rare Bird set. She insisted and of course must be obeyed! RP EDIT due to new information: Wife has purchased 2011 Graham Farish catalogue. This is going to cost me in the end! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AshleyH Posted April 2, 2011 Share Posted April 2, 2011 This pack was originally produced for Argos and related catalogue companies. I bought one from Argos just after Christmas in the sale for about £147 I think, it is a very nice pack, similar to the Rare Bird as it contains Kingfisher and 3 Teaks, but these are LNER liveried and include the Buffet Car. The Rare Bird Pack is Early BR, skirting removed and BR Eastern Region lettering on the coaches, which have grey roofs. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AshleyH Posted April 2, 2011 Share Posted April 2, 2011 And yes the A4 is the latest spec super detailed version with a DCC Socket, and the LNER Teaks are again the latest super detailed ones. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Klink Posted April 3, 2011 Share Posted April 3, 2011 I thought this was another A1/A3 trainpack..so soon after the USA one my wallet would be rather stressed Pity we havent had any A4s liveried in the apple green version (the proper one not that hideous version that stops square before the smokebox). Surely if someone can sell a few purple A4s a longer used variant would be more successful?? I might see if theres a decent price for one of these sets out since the teak coaches on their own are a fair cost so picking a loco and three of them is a good deal.
