Sam*45110*SVR Posted February 1, 2013 Share Posted February 1, 2013 Am I the only one that's a bit sceptical about it being £59, maybe a typo for £159 ? but I soooooo hope it is correct ! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Order one, you'll soon find out. I like MRD their delivery is pretty smart on 'in stock' items. I ordered some bits Wednesday evening @ 23:00, selected Royal Mail 1st class (don't bother with the 24hr express), and they were here Friday morning.

S.A.C Martin Posted February 2, 2013 Share Posted February 2, 2013 Hornby 1948 Olympic train pack for £59 Great heads up, thank you for that. I have just ordered two, if they arrive in good order I may well order two more. Been hankering after that train pack for a good while, but just did not have the cash to pay the full RRP or near it. £59? Bargain of the century, surely, with a DCC ready N2 and two teaks.

Strathyre Posted February 2, 2013 Share Posted February 2, 2013 Ordered one and it went through OK so an not worried. Pity, as I could have bid on this one and spent £1114 instead! http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Hornby-R2981-LONDON-OLYMPICS-1948-Set-MINT-BOXED-/221182324503?pt=UK_Trains_Railway_Models&hash=item337f7e6f17 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Modelzone still want full MRSP. Hornby website has them at £149 - £55 discount Olympic stuff is "so last year" as some might say. Keith Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold 30801 Posted February 2, 2013 RMweb Gold Share Posted February 2, 2013 I wonder how much profit they make on each set especially as the RRP was £205. I suspect Hornby will have pretty much given them away as under the terms of their licence they only have until March to get shot of that massive Olympic stockpile.
