edcayton Posted July 14, 2011 Share Posted July 14, 2011 KS Models in Stevenage are doing all Heljan loco's at 2/3 list price (most seem around the £60 mark, some less and the Western for £68ish). If you buy any two there is a further 10% off. The Heljan Hymek is cheaper than the Hornby one! He told me that people don't seem to hold Heljan stuff in the same regard as Hornby/Bachmann. All I can say is that my Heljan class 15 is probably the best running loco I've got. Ed Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
'CHARD Posted July 14, 2011 Share Posted July 14, 2011 Those people are obviously normals then! For those of us with an ScR bent, Heljan are indispensible. There doesn't appear to be a website, so I guess it will be down to a phone call in the morning to see if their stock extends to Bo-Bos as well as the Type 4s....

edcayton Posted July 14, 2011 Author Share Posted July 14, 2011 They not only don't have a web site, but their phone number is not on either of the receipts they gave me OR the note about going into semi-retirement next year! They had loads of different ones. They had what I still think of as BRCW's in different liveries, I didn't look closely to see if they were 33's or 26/27's.

'CHARD Posted July 14, 2011 Share Posted July 14, 2011 Nice one Ed! Fortunately, the Google search came up with the usual small traders/ chamber of commerce type websites that list the phone number. BRCWs - a step in the right direction too Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium TheDukeOfWellingtons Posted July 14, 2011 RMweb Premium Share Posted July 14, 2011 That famous shop in Liverpool is currently advertising blue 26s at £42. Seems good value to me. Just can't justify any yet. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
00ERmissus Posted July 15, 2011 Share Posted July 15, 2011 Yes, I often use this antiquated piece of kit in my hallway called a telephone, it works wonders you know! K S doesn’t have a web site but it is a superb, old-fashioned, gold-mine of a model shop, the type of place many, including myself, say how much we miss these days. It is run by two of the most friendly and helpful chaps I’ve come across in model rail circles, so if you want something, just call them. Simples.

sb67 Posted July 15, 2011 Share Posted July 15, 2011 Bought a rail blue with full yellow ends Hymek, unfortunately they had sold out of all class 47's Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
'CHARD Posted July 15, 2011 Share Posted July 15, 2011 A classic model shop, well worth the visit. I would point out at this juncture that D5301/26001 'Eastfield' and 26015 BFYE are now both sold out. The range and stock of accessories and nameplates/ transfers/ raw materials takes some beating. IMHO. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
kintbury jon Posted July 17, 2011 Share Posted July 17, 2011 Popped in yesterday whilst visiting family in Stevenage. There were a few 33's and 26's plus a 17,15, western and a couple of Hymeks around the £60 mark. The 33% discount also included many Hornby and Bachmann engines. A plain blue Hornby 50 was there for £47 (from £70). All the rolling stock has a 20% discount off the full RRP which made them competitive. Unfortunately for me, many of the diesels were a bit old for me (br green era and early blue) so I did not come away with anything but I would recommend a visit if you are not too far away.

Roy P Posted July 23, 2011 Share Posted July 23, 2011 Further to the discounts previously mentioned, K S Models are offering a further 10% if two or more Heljians are purchased. Hymek D7093 and class 26 D5332 (both Gsyp) for £105.35 the pair with zero postage costs. That's good retail therapy on a Saturday morning. RP Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Max Stafford Posted July 23, 2011 Share Posted July 23, 2011 Hattons are also doing 5301 at a discounted £68, so if you want one as it is or for a retro-engineering project ( ) , move quickly! Dave. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Posted August 7, 2011 Share Posted August 7, 2011 For any like-minded Scottish modellers out there... just noticed that Hattons have dropped the price on their 26/0 to £59 (from £79 I think). RF coal, Red stripe and BR blue ones duly ordered - might be of interest to someone else... M Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

edcayton Posted September 22, 2011 Author Share Posted September 22, 2011 Popped in to KS Models this morning for a browse and was warmly greeted with thanks for my post on here a while ago about their deals on Heljan loco's. They told me that the stuff flew off the shelves and that they had sold out of several variants. Still a few left and they look to me to be offering good deals on all N and 00 rolling stock. What really caught my eye today was an 0 gauge Adams 02 class 0-4-4 tank in BR lined black for £275. Keith told me it was built from a kit but I can't remember the make. I didn't ask to see it running because I think I would have left the shop with it! I'm off to Kidderminster tomorrow for the SVR gala. If I don't spend too much then I may go back to the shop on Monday! Ed Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
