Bargain Hunters Mark 2


Recommended Posts

Something else I have spotted on Bure Valley's site.

Combine with this and you have the 5 car set for £329.99 plus postage which is a LOT cheaper than the ebay prices:

You can often find a bargain lurking on the BVM site.  

 

DCKits also have a few Bachmann, Hornby, Heljan and Dapol bargains:

 

Bachmann: Deltics - £100, Freightliner 08 - £99.50

 

Hornby Brit (Owen Glendower) - £140, Drummond 700 - £75, LMS 8F - £90, J15 - £60, D16 - £75

 

Dapol: Bubble car - £85

 

Heljan: Cl33 - £90, Cl128 - £65

 

There is more, but these looked like highlights to me.

 

Good luck: https://www.dckits-devideos.co.uk/index.php?route=common/home

A bargain possibly if you have broken the pantograph on your Hornby class 87 or want to upgrade an old 86

 

https://www.lendonsmodelshop.co.uk/index.asp?search=Railways OO/HO Gauge&check=yes&searchme=Hornby Spares - Pantographs

 

scroll down and look at the replacement class 91 pantograph for GBP 4.48 plus postage.  I just ordered 2 

 

also as a side note Gaugemaster have replacement Heljan pantographs at GBP 25 a pop.

FAIVELEY TYPE shown as 3 in stock at time of edit 

https://www.gaugemasterretail.com/magento/catalog/product/view/id/88587/s/Heljan-hn19850012/

 

not sure the Heljan pantographs are a bargain but useful to know

Derails are doing 30% off when you buy three or more Hornby 4 and 6 wheel coaches. However should add, I was going to impulse buy a few but some of the headings don't seem to match the picture/product code so I left it to avoid any potential hassle. I've bought from derails before and they are excellent, and the free postage threshold is quite low.

E.g https://derails.co.uk/index.php?route=product/product&product_id=3881

 

R40119, listed as 4 wheel 3rd LNWR. The picture is a 6 wheel first LNWR, the description says 6 wheel 3rd in L&BSCR, and Google says 6 wheel 1st LNWR. I'd suspect the code and Google are correct and if it was higher on my want list I'd take the gamble.

Hi there! Whoops! Looks like the listing team got confused on their classes, thanks for letting us know! Having just audited the orders placed so far and remaining stock on the site, we believe it was only the LNWR coaches that were effected - all of the other listings were and are correct (but please let us know if you think otherwise!).

Please feel free to resume impluse purchasing... 😉

I couldn't actually find these on their website, the link appears to just default to the home page, or at least for me it does. They are however listed on eBay for £15, there's still 3 x 47628s and 4 x 47714s left at time of writing. I managed to nab a BR blue one before they dissappeared :)

Steamweek started at Modelbahnunion. Locs like Lemberg or the new Hornby 9F for less than €200.

Filter on the scale you want, steam loco, GB, don't tell your SO, and have fun. 

https://www.modellbahnunion.com/Spur-H0-00.htm?a=catalog&p=802&filter=k3274g3332p3428_k3274g3372p3716

Just did quick maths…

 

if you want a Dapol Manor, with German taxes off, its €99.

Add on postage DHL is €110 euro.

Combined this equates to +/- £95 today.

 

Add on 20% VAT.. £19

Add on DHL Fee .. £11

Add on Fee VAT.. £2.20

 

so there abouts £127.20, depending on your credit card rate.

 

A bargain, yes, better if you bought 2 (as the DHL fee is fixed upto c£2k spend)…

Then your looking at c£120.60 each.


Against the new price rise £178.79 (discounted to c£152) its attractive, but some retailers still have their original discounts at c£140 (old rrp £165).

 

They also include DCC ready 7827 Lydham Manor in this ( DCC ready one looks to be starting to sell out)..

 

https://www.modellbahnunion.com/HO-OO-gauge/steam-loco-Manor-Class-7823-7827-Lydham-Manor-BR.htm?shop=modellbahn-union-en&a=article&ProdNr=4S-001-007&p=802
 

as well as 7823 Hook Norton Manor..

 

https://www.modellbahnunion.com/HO-OO-gauge/steam-loco-Manor-Class-7823-Hook-Manor-BR.htm?shop=modellbahn-union-en&a=article&ProdNr=4S-001-004&p=802
 

To get this price, you need the English page, and create an account with a UK address, they then do the math for you on the rest.


however, cogniscent of where the UK is in the world, is saving £20-30 worthwhile against…

Quote

Sterling dropped 1.4% to 1.123 against the US dollar and was 0.8% lower against the euro at 1.15.

And

Quote

In its economic forecast that accompanies its rates decision, the Bank of England has warned that the UK is facing its longest recession since the great depression - a century ago.

It says that a downturn will likely last for two years and that the unemployment rate will nearly double.

https://www.bbc.com/news/live/uk-63431894
 

So if you are inflation proof, interest rate proof, exchange rate proof and in a job for life.. then if you havent gotten a manor, and dont mind a bit of effort…


 

Just to add on, Modelbahnunion also offer free gifts based on how much you spend, you can view these here (€800 spend gets you a free Hornby MSC sentinel).

 

https://www.modellbahnunion.com/e-vendo.php?shop=modellbahn-union-en&a=gratisartikel

 

So a bargain it is.
