Rails of Sheffield email

Hi all
Just got an Email from Rails stating the following coaches are discontinued and their stocks are low so get in quick.
I see blue grey bg 374-039a is in stock but yet Hattons have the coach still on pre order
How's that possible

Thanks, Scotty, but they aren't £15.50 with free postage (tightwad Nobby )

Don't worry about it. That link may be my last resort
Trouble is, Rails described it as a 'discontinued' item

I was assuming that meant that batch and the next batch will have different numbers?..... I hope so anyway, because I need a couple of staniers in the future.

I'm also hoping the next batch of maroon MK1s will be un-weathered, I'll have a loooooooong shopping list....but that's a different story!

Nothing wrong with being tight! Just wish they offer free postage to Oz. With postage works out to be no real saving as their postage as against hattons is far more expensive

Trouble is, if we have to wait for the next batch, experience tells me I might be dust on the breeze before it gets here

Hey enough of this maroon stanier stuff. What about my blue grey bg
😃

You cant always trust that "discontinued" description on stock. I fallen for it with Rails & Hattons. Sometimes its true, but other times it just seems to mean that the manufacture is out of stock. It also seemed to crop up when Farish upped the prices. Stock listed as discountinued - then later reappeared as "on order" at the high price.

Apologies, Bart. I'm not sure..maybe they got an early batch and Hattons didn't, and they sold out quick?....I suppose only Rails knows the real answer?
