They really are keen to flog those aren't they?! Maxed out on sets a couple of weeks ago, but I'm intrigued that they're being punted out quite so cheaply, they're nice wagons.

Hi Emjaybee, many thanks for that reminder.  :D  :thumbsup:  :D

I have always found Rails to be great to deal with and good with prices.

I recently bought 4 Dapol coaches fitted with light bars from them for less than £100

All best wishes

Kevin

I can only conclude they have found a container full round the back!

Great offer, but as usual it's badly timed for me. Funds depleted post Warley.

Don't you just hate it when they put out a good offer but it doesn't match your era and you would have to buy multiple packs to make a decent length rake?

If that's what's 'coming out', I'd see a doctor...

...if that's what's 'going in', I'd see a counsellor!

It actually goes both ways and could be considered as recycling. Just have to be careful not to get the glasses mixed up  :goggleeyes:

Worth looking at Hattons Advent calendar, and TMC have just started a 12 days of Christmas one too.

Seem to be better deals in OO than N, so perhaps the OO market is flooded with niche models that no one needs or wants... OO 4-BEP at 45% off sir? Yes please. Brings it down to a more sensible price. :)

Agreed. They can provide chassis and bogies for 3D printed Maunsells or can be stripped and resprayed BR SR Green.

They were £20 and considered *quite expensive* when first released in 2012 :)
