ANT Posted February 3, 2017 Share Posted February 3, 2017 Interesting. I didn't know you could pre-pay VAT on direct shipments from outside the EU. Hello I found this on their Amazon page: Frequently Asked QuestionsQ; VAT is included in listed price? A; Yes, however, we cannot pay the tax in advance. So if you are charged, please send us digital version of the receipt and we will pay you as partial refund. Thanks SEEYAANT Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold adb968008 Posted February 3, 2017 RMweb Gold Share Posted February 3, 2017 Interesting. I didn't know you could pre-pay VAT on direct shipments from outside the EU.If sent UPS or other recognised courier they can take payment from the supplier in advance for tax, customs and fees.If not they persue the recipient a few days later by invoice. Had some funny instances with this at my company where low sometimes no value, intracompany goods were despatched between offices but were insured as high value by default. One occasion our overseas friends sent overnight before 9am shipping, an empty box, with sellotape inside, insured for $5000 from the US. So the recipient could return a broken laptop. A few days later an invoice for it arrived for nearly £1000 in taxes paid by the courier. Said laptop went in the bin instead. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold adb968008 Posted February 8, 2017 RMweb Gold Share Posted February 8, 2017 Maybe It pays to click on the advertisers links within this site... rails of sheffield are having a bigger clear out... MSC Sentinel £39.50 https://railsofsheffield.com/sentinel-dh16-4dh-msc-locomotive-r3482-Hornby-JJJA30003.aspx new release K1s £79.50 (In 62006 / 65) Bristolian Train pack for £160, or the coaches for £89. J15s £75. I'm thinking I could do with 3 K1s for their tenders, get 62006 & swap the BR lettered tender with 65's, and get another 65 to upgrade my D49's tender, then dump the two 65's loco bodies & chassis.

That's what I would call an honest model. As above, the ex-Lima body but with a better motor. Harking back to a simpler time, note the moulded handrails! Whilst some folk on RMWeb have an anxiety attack over the smallest detail missing or modelled incorrectly on the latest RTR, I see that Warship as potential to add your own mark without spending a fortune, be it a repaint, wire handrails or just adding some detail to a bufferbeam. With prices for new RTR locos what they are, and how high they're yet to go, £39 is most definitely a bargain! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The market is saturated with Warships... Trix, Fleischmann, Lima, Mainline and 2 different Bachmann toolings. the price reflects Charles Darwin's theory, this ones closer to the bottom of the food chain. However, price aside, theres nothing wrong with it, its the newer motor and has room to be customised... The only caution I see is the body doesnt seem to be sitting flush to the chassis, and the front left buffer looks a bit "cut off" in the picture, but that could be the picture editing.

RMweb Gold The Johnster Posted February 10, 2017 RMweb Gold Share Posted February 10, 2017 I think the Hatton's Warship is good for the money, but needs a little work with detailing and flush glazing to bring it up to a standard comparable with the Bachmann competition. You have to cost the work and your labour, then factor in the satisfaction or otherwise of 'doing it yourself' to determine whether or not you agree with me. I cost my labour to myself at £10 an hour when I make these somewhat spurious calculations, but a skilled modeller doing it for you professionally will, rightly, charge a lot more than that! In spite of an increasing tendency to box opening in my dotage, I like to have a bit of modelling to do, and have a variety of tasks varying in time and complexity to suit the time available and my mood, from major projects to 'potching' tasks that can be fitted in between trains when I am having a timetable running session. What I don't like doing is work that has been made deliberately complex and difficult by poor kit design, choice of materials, or bad planning on my part; it becomes onerous and a chore when that happens and I am less unwilling to pay for a model on which the work has been done for me, even when I've paid close to £70 for a Baccy autocoach and, on the journey home, found it on offer £15 cheaper in another shop (Antics Cardiff).

Butler Henderson Posted February 10, 2017 Share Posted February 10, 2017 Bracket Assortment (useful for baseboards?): https://www.aldi.co.uk/workzone-angle-bracket-set-38-piece/p/093798069684000 Local Aldi had stacks of these this pm - about £3.50 worth comparing to Tool Station prices so probably not that much a bargain but will be probably reduced in the coming weeks.

RMweb Gold The Johnster Posted February 10, 2017 RMweb Gold Share Posted February 10, 2017 But would you pay anyone to do that? Spare time is worth £0/hour - that's why it's called spare time........ Spare time has to be paid for like everything else in some way, as you have to earn the money to do what you desire in your spare time by working, which itself limits your spare time and conveys a scarcity value to it. My spare time is worth £0/hour, or perhaps less to you or anyone other than me, but to me it is priceless. Which is why I value it at £10/hour when I am buying kits or considering scratchbuilding. Whether I would pay anyone to professionally model for me (not talking about the photographic type here before anyone jumps in, you know what I mean) would depend on the outcome of a personal calculation involving my own limited modelling ability, the time I had available for the project, and how much cash I had to spare, but, yes, I can envisage situations in which I would pay for professional modelling. Not as things stand at present, but if I won the lottery or something. I am about to retire, which means I probably only have about 30 years tops before I cash in my chips and head for the great mileage siding in the sky, so my time is not a limitless resource; nor is my money!
