mikesndbs Posted October 23, 2022 Share Posted October 23, 2022 Hi guys, so finally after the long wait, my first batches should be on my way to me. I've got the flat roof SR ones coming as well, did I read somewhere they were in use on the IOW? 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm overseas, Hattons always deducts VAT on used items I order. Other merchants have told me they can't deduct VAT on used items only new. I've always wondered about that. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure quite how second hand this one may be, described as ''6 wheel - 3rd class / brake - split from set - Pre-owned - Like new box'', it is either a coach from a set not required, so returned to Hattons, or one from a set split by Hattons. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will have been split from a set (as it says) - used to be a common retailer practice in years (long) gone by and I presume it is what has happened here. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought that option more probable, as I've bought a Bachmann Hall the same way from Hattons, although at a more realistic price. Thanks for your confirmation.

Just need to fit some kadee couplings now. I have found Kadees don't work particularly well on these. When the coupling is close enough to look reasonable, they buffer lock when being pushed. On some of them the centering is so slack that the Kadees can push sideways on a longish rake making it even worse. I have used the Hornby/Roco close couplers which are more rigid and keep a constant distance, leaving Kadees for the end of a rake. IMHO the coupling mounts let these otherwise exquisite models down. too slack and many of my 14 GWR ones sag badly. 2 hours ago, Turbo_Tim said: Payment was taken late Thursday evening, Same here but it was done in three bites One for the pack of 4, one for the extra coach ordered and one for the postage.🙂 Still waiting for mine. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
