Post by: Elvinley on October 27, 2016, 12:15:32 PM
This may tempt one or two to the dark side:

For less than the price of a valenced A4 in N you get a sound fitted complete digital set.

Buy loads of them, sell on eBay for a stonking profit, buy loads of N gauge stuff. :thumbsup:

With the added bonus that you might appear in the 'eBay madness' thread here. :)

Crikey... must resist...! But that really is insanely good value.

Hornby were having a tough time even before the recent weakening of the pound against the dollar. Their accountants must be talking to themselves. I reckon they need the current NGS Treasurer to help them out. He's done an amazing job with the NGS Shop, so who knows what else he can achieve?

Cheers, NeMo

Better still; put the listing on ebay with a nice profit margin then, when it sells, order from Hatton's with delivery direct to the buyer's address.

What could possibly go wrong?  No need to tie up your capital and clutter your home with stock.
