Just the one when I was there, which was about 4 PM on Saturday. Can't speak for those others who got their while visiting. Perhaps they wheel out singleton locos for display as/when?

Cheers, NeMo

i bought mine about three on Saturday. There were three in stock so after mine and Nemos purchase there's potentially one left in stock.

This rolls quite nicely, but somehow I don't think it really counts here

It will however help me shift a load of drawers and boxes full of modelling bits when I move house over the next couple of weeks.

I've been rather taken by the Graham Farish Ivatt 2-6-0 for a while now and finally succumbed to temptation.  It is such a neat little model, the motor must be tiny to fit in the model.




I also picked up the latest Graham Farish weathered maroon BR Mk1 coach; an Eastern Region BCK.




Not the best photo but my local model shop had a second hand BR Suburban Mk1 in Crimson, which I thought looked very smart.

That Ivatt  mogul does look good.
Not at all my area but I agree a tempting model.

Good idea, Mike!

Bought 2 for a very similar exercise last year. Saved a lot of box lugging.

not exactly a purchase, but a late birthday present from my daughter.[smg id=22992 type=preview align=center caption="001"]
a second kitchen pullman, 2 x 24t hoppers and a pantechnicon.
I must confess to a twinge of jealousy when I see people purchasing vast amounts of stock!

Lovely Pullman! I also spy a nice train on the lower level 

As to large purchases, all is not what it seems! Two things to consider:

- Many of those who post larger purchases seem to be living outside of the UK, and so probably order in bulk to save a huge amount on postage costs. A single wagon isn't worth ordering if you're have to pay the same price again just in postage! Much better to wait a couple of months until you can justify (and afford) to order 20 items together and pay £15 to £20 for postage as one parcel, rather than order them separately and pay £5-£7 postage x 20 - ouch!

- I find receiving, opening and checking "bulk" orders for any defects on arrival can actually become a bit of a chore! You certainly don't get the same pleasure out of it as you do from unboxing two wagons (especially purchased by a loved one) and sticking them straight on the track to be shunted off by the nearest locomotive.

Just my 2p (+£5 postage)

I agree, although the postage Hattons charge is quite reasonable for those living on the other side of the Channel.

That pantechnicon brought back memories  I used to drive one of those!  or what

The silver bullets that pass my house are not quite as pristine shall we say!

Enjoy.

Will probably weather them down a bit if only to save the need to wear sun glasses as they pass

Like these a lot (the silver bullets look almost black in your picture) unfortunately far too modern for my modelling era unless I attempt a Reading based layout.......
