The 'Mk 4 shortage'

[scotrail]

I made the mistake of offloading 4 of these a year or two ago. Kicking myself now!

Haha, I think I'd be kicking myself too! Still, they are about; It just takes some patience and an Ebay account!

I've got my eyes on those, and am prepared to pay a silly sum of money for them

Well you certainly won't be competing against me to get them, that's for sure! I haven't even ordered the Class 91 yet, and my wallet isn't all that bulky at the minute 

Cheers,

Phew!  I'm winning those even if its the last thing I do!!

PS I'll let you know if I see any mk4's about, I've got a few spare I think!

Shame really as you can get the GNER 91 and DVT for a steal on several shop sites but coaches missing. Right about hunting about at Warley show I saw two rakes of intercity livery Mk4s - gone with in hours !  I have a set in Intercity complete with interiors and really the flush printing fits the bill well, not sure if a new top spec model is required but way it is made prevents modern coupling solutions.

Hopefully Bachmann will revisit and I guess the New VTEC livery will be a no brainer even if a bit visually challenging compared to the grace and style of the GNER livery - without pink doors ! the nadir has to be the poor Nat ex liveries and sisters in  grey dull, dull dull...totally uninspiring to model and travel on.

The Mk4s are decent enough models, but the Class 91 is fairly awful as is the DVT- would they re-release it now? It's pre-DCC and doesn't have lights.

Hi All

Strange how some of these old style tool GF coaches are so expensive on eBay

I sold a single BR blue grey mk3 sleeper coach, new in box for £22 a few months back

A lot more than expected!

Mk2s seem very expensive as well

It's where there is no more recent model, and the old ones aren't available new any more - Dapol have done Mk3s, but they haven't done the sleeper.

When I asked about them producing the sleeper a couple of years ago, They said they "might" but only after the TGS was released... So... Time will tell..
