In the news it is said that on-line sales of products reduced after Christmas day are expected to be colossal. I wonder if we will see any of this within our hobby?  Not counting on it mind you, but there's a fair bit expected to arrive in the next few months...cash flow and all that.

That will be a difficult one if it happens. Do we snap up the bargains or hang on to our cash until the new releases hit the shops? 

cheers, Stu.

Bargains, and then when the wallet recovery is done the new releases will be on discount

Works for me too! 

I'm gagging to see/ buy a couple of the Dapol Granges when they are released...for starters!  Certain of the bigger on-line magazine featured shops do come up with offers that are hard to resist  though.    M.R. Direct are my current favourite for offers/ overall best price, even though Kernow MRC are around 10 miles away.

This will be a first for me - New Year sales on trains.

But does it happen or is it like a John Lewis sale with specially bought in tat ?

I would like in the sales...

- doncaster built 56 in blue
- maroon western  (unlikely to be reduced much as new models)
- graham farish blue 47 (with eth and a marker light)
- a few haa hoppers
- any 80s / 90s suitable wagons will probably tempt me if a big discount...

on a more serious note I need a sofa and I need to save up to get a new bathroom fitted. that's boring though.

January sales? I hope not. My wallet is still trying to recover from the October, November and December sales!
