RMweb Gold big jim Posted October 27, 2015 RMweb Gold Share Posted October 27, 2015 i made sure i checked the smallprint as my purchase was £235 and i didnt want to be caught out and not get the fairly substantial discount and i spotted it did say "one purchase per linked paypal account" my biggest worry when checking out was being as it was a facebook promo it wouldnt work as i dont follow ebay on facebook or indeed have a facebook account at all well ok, my biggest worry is actually trying to sneak £235 worth of locos into the house without my wife noticing Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree. I have two of these screwed to the wall above my workbench. At the time IKEA didn't do any daylight bulbs so I used these which are great to work under http://www.homebase.co.uk/en/homebaseuk/tcp-cfl-spiral-daylight-bulb-23w-es---1-pack-550183 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keith Also if you have a love2shop card (which is useful in many places) you get 7.5% off of whatever you top up (so £100 is £92.50). This can be used in Homebase (for the DIY stuff) and Argos when they do the 3 for 2 on toys to save more on the railway items. X Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium Legend Posted October 31, 2015 RMweb Premium Share Posted October 31, 2015 Had a 20% off voucher for WH Smith from buying magazines and enquired if it also included Modelzone. It didn't , but not to worry the young assistant had a card for 20% off for October purchases which did include Modelzone. Result! Bought a new Hornby D16/3 with early crest for £87.99. Modelzone Glasgow seem to be carrying full range. They still have Crostis , Drummonds, J15s,K1s and the new S15 in BR Livery . With 20% off that's quite a bargain. Came away with another card for 20% off in November. Thanks for the sevice in Modelzone. The assistant wasn't too clued up on Hornby , but was very helpful and certainly knew what discounts were allowed. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium Coryton Posted November 5, 2015 RMweb Premium Share Posted November 5, 2015 Some pretty impressive discounts on Model Railways Direct. I suspect the stock won't last long... Numbers severely depleted but still quite a few "Thomas" range trucks left at rather low prices (£2.99 for single trucks, £9.99 for three packs). I don't think they have faces on. This is well below any second hand prices I've seen for anything in good condition and should be excellent for painting and weathering practise - even better value than the £4 Hamleys Railroad vans! (I'm glad I decided not to be greedy and to save what was left in Hamleys for someone else now...) The "Spencer's coaches" (no idea what if anything these are based on) at £3.99 have all vanished (you'd be hard put to get a second hand 4-wheeler for that), but the Railroad Mk1's at £9.99 each aren't moving so fast (perhaps because people stocked up on the last offers).

As at 19:45 today MRD still had 23 x Triple pack tank wagons 54 x Triple pack vans 56 x Sodor scrap Also spotted 7 x R2669 diesel freight @ £22.24 - a bargain price for a basic set Plus some Mk 1s for £9.99 Keith Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Coryton Posted November 5, 2015 RMweb Premium Share Posted November 5, 2015 7 x R2669 diesel freight @ £22.24 - a bargain price for a basic set Keith Yes - I just noticed these (maybe they weren't there earlier?) I don't like the Railroad 0-6-0 chassis though - it doesn't seem to like my (not as flat as it could be) trackwork. And two of the three trucks are the rather odd ones with huge running boards (built on a brake van chassis?) Good value though, I agree. Just had an email to say my order has shipped; the email includes: "Campaign ID: 3". Looks as if they're tracking who clicked through from the email announcing the sale. It's not long ago that people were commenting that Model Railways Direct's bargains weren't much of a bargain any more... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
