RMweb Gold tractionman Posted April 28, 2017 RMweb Gold Share Posted April 28, 2017 It does however include the recent E/C and LMS 5MT Moguls at £111.95 each. And the LMS Crab at the lowest price I have yet seen... I should have waited, no patience me! Cheers, Keith Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bilbo Posted April 29, 2017 Share Posted April 29, 2017 Not sure what British Toy Trains Vol 1 by Micael D Foster is like but it is on sale at Hattons for £2.50 plus £2.00 postage. Most other places it seems to be £18 . Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vespa Posted April 29, 2017 Share Posted April 29, 2017 Looking at some dealers ie Rails and Hattons in particular, I think Hornby have done another dump of stock but more evenly spread so that it is not so noticable. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now that Hornby policy has reverted to selling through the model trade instead of concessions, the stock returned from the concession outlets must have gone somewhere. I'm sure Hornby wanted it off their hands as soon as possible. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure Hornby wanted it off their hands as soon as possible. A raft of stock on one traders stand at Bristol show yesterday, J15 at £63, D16 for £69 and Green B12 for £88 looked very keen to me.

Black 5 Bear Posted May 1, 2017 Share Posted May 1, 2017 A raft of stock on one traders stand at Bristol show yesterday, J15 at £63, D16 for £69 and Green B12 for £88 looked very keen to me. Unfortunately or fortunately for some, they are all GER variants which have either been overproduced or do not seem to be popular. A B12 for £88, an absolute bargain !

Vespa Posted May 1, 2017 Share Posted May 1, 2017 I ordered the Bachmann Mogul E/C at £111 Couldn't resist it at that price. Looking at other websites thaere are tons of very reduced stock on sale. Perhaps the bottom is falling out of model railway sales?? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium PhilJ W Posted May 1, 2017 RMweb Premium Share Posted May 1, 2017 I visited the Peterborough Truckfest yesterday. Oxford Diecast had a stall there where they were selling some of their products for knock down prices. I obtained four of their recovery truck models for £30 plus five of their normal models at £2 each. They were also selling 'lucky dip' bags at £10 each. these bags are sealed but contain four or five models with a RRP of at least £25. There was also some bins of damaged models at £1 each, some were a box of bits but others had very little damage and I managed to find a Thames van model that was not damaged but the box it was in was, for a pound! If you look on the Oxford website they have details of shows that they attend. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neil McGrath Posted May 4, 2017 Share Posted May 4, 2017 Here is a great buy from Bang-Good. A digital multimeter for just £2.95. https://www.banggood.com/DT832-Digital-LCD-Multimeter-Ohm-Voltage-Ampere-Meter-Buzzer-Function-with-Test-Probe-p-1119906.html?rmmds=search Ok, its not a Fluke but would be more than adequate for most model railway applications.

So Bachmann is selling them on to retailers to clear stock. I would emphatically not use the term "bargain" in this case. The original asking price was pushing the envelope.Let' s be kind and say the envelope has undergone a tiny shrinkage.There's a good deal of new release around that offers far better bangs for your buck than this and no shortage of takers for it I imagine.Before I would even raise an eyebrow on this one it would need to fall below £100, Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

No interest to me but sounds like a good deal. Steve Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure we'll see a sub £100 Patriot soon however. Only 1 black one made to date as a limited edition, if it isn't selling, there's little incentive for others to be produced, I wonder how the limited edition of 45551 "The Unknown Warrior" will sell next year and if it lifts interest in them when 45551 first steams, though the race is on if they want it finished in 2018.

RMweb Gold big jim Posted May 7, 2017 RMweb Gold Share Posted May 7, 2017 Our local brantano show shop is closing down (as are all of them) they are selling off all the fittings, picked up a couple of plastic storage boxes for £3 a piece My eldest has already relocated one for all his PlayStation stuff and consoles in his room Loads of other fittings in there too, shelving, racking etc, also clear Perspex shoe stands for 50p which to me would make a nice n gauge viaduct/bridge base Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
andymac-2008 Posted May 7, 2017 Share Posted May 7, 2017 Dapol shop still have some reworked 68's for £100 Scottrail and Chiltern Railways. Other items Reworked 73's in most liverys for £90. Signals for £2.50 motors not working but LEDS work ok. Also noticed with the OO gauge stock was some OO gauge class 56's in Railfreight grey for £45.

RMweb Premium melmerby Posted May 8, 2017 RMweb Premium Share Posted May 8, 2017 The local Works bookshop has some of those Haynes "Workshop" Manuals about various subjects. (Tiger tank, Zombie Apocalypse etc!) For the first time I spotted the London Underground one amongst the pile. Only £6 against a cover price of £22.50. IMHO Worth buying at that price. As the stock seems to vary considerably from branch to branch, they may have been in your local one before but the first time AFAIK in mine!

Patriot below £100? My father recently showed me his Hornby Railroad Patriot, (£65 from Hattons).These days his pension doesn't stretch to the main Hornby range and he prefers the harder wearing Railroad range. I was very impressed. A little time spent augmenting the model with various bits and bobs from the spares box would give a really nice layout model (although it needs a bit of weight to improve haulage capacity) Admittedly, it wouldn't stand close scrutiny in a display cabinet. But you pay your money, and take your pick! Steve Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
