RMweb Premium polybear Posted November 21, 2014 RMweb Premium Share Posted November 21, 2014 Hattons are showing a few of the Heljan Class 128 Diesel Parcel Units for £69 including weathered and Post Office livery versions. Just bagged myself one of the weathered versions Shame they're all pooey colours though... Is it me, or are all such bargains anything but late crest green polybear Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

steveb860 Posted November 21, 2014 Share Posted November 21, 2014 Just noticed some Dapol OO gauge Westerns and class 22's on Cheltenham Model centre site for £85 or a weathered blue western for £95 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Downendian Posted November 22, 2014 RMweb Gold Share Posted November 22, 2014 Those Westerns must have been snapped up quick - I was looking for the weathered D1026 for a renumber. Weathered example not showing in stock and the £85 ones now showing zero stock. However, Hattons have the new retooled centre headcode 40 for £77 http://www.ehattons.com/52582/Bachmann_Branchline_32_481_Class_40_D369_in_BR_green_with_centre_head_code/StockDetail.aspx And the Heljan disc headcode baby deltic for £69 http://www.ehattons.com/52170/Heljan_2323_Class_23_Baby_Deltic_D5909_green_with_headcode_discs_and_no_frost_grilles_weath/StockDetail.aspx Both seem pretty good deals to me, so I snapped up a class 40 for another GFYE project. It's a bit worrying that the 40s are not shifting at Hattons as I hope this is not a sign that Bachmann will not be keen on new releases of this new tooling and working through the remaining liveries. Not that I'm especially worried having worked on another Lima/Bachmann hybrid this afternoon. Neil Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry if already posted somewhere. Rob Got the same email myself - odd/interesting/amusing that it's titled "Black Friday Sale" as I thought it was only over here in the US that "Black Friday" existed?!?!?! Given there's no Thanksgiving Day in the UK, I wonder how they determine the day? Retailers here consider the day after Thanksgiving, which is a holiday for most folks in the US, "Black Friday" since they have significant sales the Friday after, and supposedly their books go from red to black at that point, i.e. they start to show a profit for the year. Many used to hang their hat on sales this coming weekend - less so now with the advent of internet sales and everyone out-doing each other by starting Black Friday earlier and earlier! Several major stores and online presences started their Black Friday sales last weekend, go figure!! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
