Martin in Portugal Posted November 29, 2011 Share Posted November 29, 2011 I ordered one of these from Rails of Sheffield on receipt of my subscribed copy of Model Rail in which it was reviewed. On 9 November they advise me that it is 'no longer available'. Internet searches show me that no-one has this item, any one have any ideas about when it might be available?

craigwelsh Posted November 29, 2011 Share Posted November 29, 2011 Blimey they sold out quick in a lot of places! Must have been a massive demand for roller bearing brake vans.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martin in Portugal Posted November 29, 2011 Author Share Posted November 29, 2011 http://www.topslotsntrains.com/topslotsntrains/final.asp?ref=Hornby-R6508-BR-20-TON-BRAKE-VAN---No-1--&id=8497&manufacturer='Hornby' I have bought from them in the past, so export no problem. Thanks, but it's not an export problem as I've bought from them before and in the last three months. I believe that it's either a short production run or possibly a 'problem' yet to be announced. Whilst there are 'some' at other suppliers, placing an order brings up 'awaiting stocks' etc. Martin... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

'CHARD Posted December 5, 2011 Share Posted December 5, 2011 Good stuff, Martin. As others have said, this is a strange one to have run into short supply so quickly! But then, it is a very tidy addition to the Hornby range - they're certainly doing something right here! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
