marc smith Posted September 24, 2014 Share Posted September 24, 2014 Aldi have their metal legs in stock again on Sunday https://www.aldi.co.uk/en/specialbuys/sunday-28-september/product-detail/ps/p/multi-purpose-support-1/ I use these for exhibiting layouts They're brilliant. They're quite lightweight, yet sturdy when set up And I find I can set a layout up very quickly using these One point to note though, is that there have been several "batches" of these over the past few years One pal bought a few, then bought one or two more, at a later date There was a very slight height discrepancy between the 2 different batches even though they looked very similar.... He only discovered this after setting up his layout at a show So if you already have some of these, measure carefully against any new ones you buy..

Ian Abel Posted September 24, 2014 Share Posted September 24, 2014 Not my interest AT ALL, but thought I'd post here as I just spotted it, figure any time you can get a DCC on-board Bachmann steam loco for 85 quid it must be a bargain??? https://www.ehattons.com/52538/Bachmann_Branchline_31_136DC_Class_D11_2_4_4_0_62677_Edie_Ochiltree_in_BR_black_with_late_crest_DCC_Fitted/StockDetail.aspx Best of luck for anyone so inclined Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interesting, have four, three bought in batch, another from a later batch plus a Screwfix one and they all seem to the same height although given the uneven nature of exhibition venues varying heights could be an advantage, certainly Warmington took some packing at one end to get it almost level at Shipley last weekend.

What's the era and region(s)? Thanks, Alun Bit of a punt, I'm working towards a steam/diesel transition era layout based around Clitheroe (Lancs) which had a lot of cement companies in the area. But I think they roamed widely ...... I'm thinking I'll change the branding to something fictional (Pendle Cement?) as I don't like the look of those big boards on the sides. Don't know whether they're early or late bauxite but they were operational into the 1970s at least. Agree at a fiver each including postage they look a bargain.

SRman Posted September 25, 2014 Share Posted September 25, 2014 They aren't as detailed as the much more up to date Bachmann offerings but they certainly represent a very affordable way to get a whole block train into service in a hurry. And at that price, you can afford to muck about with them a bit. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Butler Henderson Posted September 26, 2014 Share Posted September 26, 2014 Found in Lidl today, and apparently on sale since Monday, a natural light lamp just right for the workbench.

These seem to have flown out of the shops as sewing forums have been talking about these all week. Edit: just to clarify I'm no good with a needle and thread, but the Head of Household is!

Butler Henderson Posted September 27, 2014 Share Posted September 27, 2014 There was still a fair number of them in the Knaresborough store yesterday, as for vanishing off the web site that is normal as Monday offers disappear the following Thursday to make way for forthcoming offers.

RMweb Premium John M Upton Posted October 3, 2014 RMweb Premium Share Posted October 3, 2014 According to the recycling fodder that dropped out of my new issue of Bus & Coach Preservation Magazine today, Atlas Editions are doing the die cast OO scale LT AEC Regent bus for £1.99 again. A cheap source of models for some perhaps? EDIT: Definitely a re-run of the previous series as the open top Southdown NBC Green Bristol Lodekka is listed as the second model again. http://www.atlaseditions.co.uk/collection/Great_British_Buses/Great%20British%20Buses.html Apparently a very limited edition release - that will be about ten thousand of each then!!!!

lightengine Posted October 4, 2014 Share Posted October 4, 2014 Unfortunate that I have no bridges on my layout. Buses can also be posed at level crossings. There are several crossings in Worthing where this can be seen in prototype. Whilst waiting I often had time to build a few kits! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DonB Posted October 5, 2014 Share Posted October 5, 2014 Through my letter box this week came a catalogue of remaindered books from www.psbooks.co.uk Go to their site and search for 'Trains & railways', they currently have 68 books on offer! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bennyboy Posted October 6, 2014 Share Posted October 6, 2014 Through my letter box this week came a catalogue of remaindered books from www.psbooks.co.uk Go to their site and search for 'Trains & railways', they currently have 68 books on offer! Nice find and there is one bargain which struck me in particular which was Pat Hammond's Hornby Railways The Story of Rovex: Volume 3 1972-1996 at half price at only £25! I bought this when it first came out and it's a must for anyone who has even the slightest interest in Hornby's output of that period. http://www.psbooks.co.uk/products/lifestyle/crafts-collectables/item/Hornby-railways Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
