RMweb Gold big jim Posted January 8, 2015 RMweb Gold Share Posted January 8, 2015 Not very exciting, but a bit of a useful bargain IMHO. Wilkinsons seem to have introduced a "pick and mix" screws and bolts section. Everything from the really useful tiny countersunk wood screws every layout needs right through to coach bolts, washers and nuts. A small bag is £1.99 and a large bag £2.99. You can get hundreds of screws in a bag. I've just stocked up on loads of different sizes of useful screws for a handful of change. i've already mentioned the pick and mix bag somewhere in this thread, i love going in there and filling a bag full of screws, bolts, hooks etc i'll probably never need or use!

Mel_H Posted January 9, 2015 Share Posted January 9, 2015 While Hattons often has bargains, in its Christmas/New Year sale, I see that it has a Hornby Pullman (one of the new ones with lights, not Railroad) for £20, which is pretty cheap, even by their standards. http://www.ehattons.com/35917/Hornby_R4483_Pullman_1st_Class_Parlour_Car_Onyx_Flush_Sided/StockDetail.aspx Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

As long as you feel you are getting a bargain (at the time!) Ray Hi Ray That's true. OT Sometimes you just have to shut your eyes when you think you got something at a good price and then sometimes later it turns up cheaper. I thought we might see a number of keenly-priced post New Year sales, but maybe retailers had a good enough Christmas that 'distress selling' isn't needed.

RMweb Premium Mr Nik Posted January 17, 2015 RMweb Premium Share Posted January 17, 2015 Just a note to say that i ordered 4 of the reduced discs from Activity Media on Wednesday and despite the '4 week' lead time they arrived on Friday. I've always wanted the two Nigel Burkin discs but never been able to justify the full price or been short of cash when they've been in offer. I doubt me purchasing soonervwould have saved the company butbit's the guiltiest i've ever felt about a bargain. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold CovDriver Posted January 22, 2015 RMweb Gold Share Posted January 22, 2015 Popped into Ian Allan in Birmingham today whilst on my PnB and it seems they have some real bargains on offer firstly several hardback books and then some Hornby stock on offer for instance the Sir Chris Hoy javelin sets and about a dozen or so Hornby MK3 FO's in blue and grey livery at £20 each also there was a couple of railroad MK1's in chocolate and cream livery at £15 each also some new style HAA's at £15 I think? Also some DVD's on offer not sure on the titles as there was a few people shuffling through them. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Horsetan Posted January 22, 2015 Share Posted January 22, 2015 Just came back from Ian Allan with a Bachmann Scenecraft Great Central station entrance and staircase, reduced from £77.50 (i.e. RRP) to £45. Most sources seem to have sold out of this item some time ago.... Visited IA again this week. All the remaining GC Scenecraft stock now sold out.

RMweb Premium Coryton Posted January 23, 2015 RMweb Premium Share Posted January 23, 2015 For anyone in the Cardiff area, there are (sadly) some good bargains in the Ian Allen bookshop closing down sale. Almost everything is half marked price (usually RRP, but some had already been discounted somewhat). Quite a few books left, and some model railway scenery and accessories remains. There is also a table of heavily discounted Ian Allen books, including the DMU and EMU recognition guide at (I think) £6.25 - a good saving even over the current on-line price of £16.50. I would have walked out with one if I hadn't paid the full price there last Christmas... They still seem to be redeeming loyalty cards as well.

RMweb Premium melmerby Posted January 24, 2015 RMweb Premium Share Posted January 24, 2015 Don't know whether this has been posted before. Aldi are selling a "starter set" of storage racking and boxes for £19.99 (can't find it on their website) It's made up of this product range: http://www.allit.de/en/business-segments/storage/diy/products/profiplus/ Quite a bit cheaper than buying normally!
