RMweb Premium PhilJ W Posted October 29, 2014 RMweb Premium Share Posted October 29, 2014 They seem to have some interesting looking metal kits from someone called Metal Earth, but their knowledge of railway terminology is a bit suspect: "The Steam Locomotive is a train that produces its power from a steam engine. The train must carry its water either in the locomotive itself or in an attached car behind the locomotive. The steam is produced by burning coal, wood or oil. Steam engines dominated railway transportation from the early 19th century through the middle of the 20th century. Metal kit with 2 sheets of pop out metal Parts. " These are supposed to be 3D laser cut metal kits, and a Model T Ford looks particularly fine, for just £10, but there is no indication of scale - all the kits, including a Lancaster bomber are described as: Length: 0.19 Width: 0.13 Height: 0.05 Products Weight: 0.10 with no indication of what units are being invoked. The tractor looks to be about O scale. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Mr Nik Posted October 30, 2014 RMweb Premium Share Posted October 30, 2014 Greetings all, Been in to my local model shop today and been told that Bachmann have 'overproduced' a run of Scenecraft buildings and they have been offered to retailers at significantly reduced prices, as much as 40% Obviously it depends on whether or not your chosen retailer will pass those savings on but it's certainly worth having a look and asking the question. If it's your cup of tea, good luck. Nik. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium EEType4 Posted October 30, 2014 RMweb Premium Share Posted October 30, 2014 Replica Railways are selling their Mk1 BG's at £10.00 each on their website. They have NSE, crimson & cream, ScotRail, Post Office red, Provincial and plain crimson in stock. Just ordered 5 by phone for repainting into plan rail blue and I have to say the chap I spoke to was really helpful. Although they are not flush glazed and are fitted with plastic wheels, they are the correct length and in my humble opinion are a pretty good moulding. Given the current prices of coaching stock I think they are good value for money. http://www.replicarailways.co.uk/ready-to-run-items/ready-to-run Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Poggy1165 Posted October 31, 2014 Share Posted October 31, 2014 I was in Memories (which is mainly an antiques shop) on Bridge Street Ramsbottom the other day and they had a boxed class 70 (Bachmann?) for £90 and it looked good as new. Also a mixed bag of coaches for about a tenner apiece. No good to me, as I'm a 7mm guy, but if anyone's visiting the East Lancs Railway this weekend it might be worth a look.

In my average parcels rake, there's nothing slack about these vans whatsoever, after a quick wheel change has been carried out. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

For some odd reason all 8 are only shown on the NI sitehttp://www.lidl-ni.co.uk/en/Offers.htm?action=showDetail&id=14950Picked this one up Doors are 23mm and 19mm high so an accurate scale is difficult to judge but for a background building in a winter scene it appears a good possibility. Snow appears to be part of the resin moulding. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium PhilJ W Posted November 3, 2014 RMweb Premium Share Posted November 3, 2014 Picked this one up20141103_172400.jpg20141103_172414.jpg Doors are 23mm and 19mm high so an accurate scale is difficult to judge but for a background building in a winter scene it appears a good possibility. Snow appears to be part of the resin moulding. It looks 'American' in style so it could be HO scale. But seeing as it is Christmas themed it has to be Ho-Ho-Ho scale. Hat, coat, gone................

Ohmisterporter Posted November 13, 2014 Share Posted November 13, 2014 Morrisons are selling Harris Paint and hand wipes at 24 for £1. This compares favourably with DIY stores selling similar wipes at 40 for £4. Like it says on the packet they are ideal for cleaning paint and oil from hands and small brushes. Far safer than washing hands in white spirit. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's....RAILWAY. Unfortunately everything on there is tip-top price. That would e.g. bring the price of the R4174C Gresley coach down to just £17.81 more than Hornby want for it!

The chap I purchased it from had bought it brand new, (May 2014) and he even supplied the receipt from the shop. Ebay can be a wonderful thing, if you're quick ! Cheers, Gary.

RMweb Gold Chris Chewter Posted November 15, 2014 RMweb Gold Share Posted November 15, 2014 To get this thread back on track (No pun intended!) stumbled across the find on Modelfair. Hornby R3118 Penrice Castle for £102.50! A bargain in my opinion when everyone else is stocking them for £120 upwards. It states there in stock, Just hoping I don't get an email stating its a website error or the stock levels are wrong! http://www.modelfair.com/product/59225/Hornby-r3118-penrice-castle-br-late-crest-double-chimney Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
