Paul Bradley1707820127 Posted December 21, 2016 Share Posted December 21, 2016 Afternoon Gents,I have recently acquired a Premier Flying Scotsman in Blue with rhubarb and custard coaches set that was produced for Marks and Spencer in I believe 2006 ? Could anyone help with any info on this set. I have looked in the catalogues that I have but I just can't see it listed. Any info available would be great,Many thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chrissaf Posted December 21, 2016 Share Posted December 21, 2016 I assume you have already done an exhaustive search via Google. If not, then try this as a starting point:.Premier Flying Scotsman in Blue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LCDR Posted December 21, 2016 Share Posted December 21, 2016 Special sets are produced for large retailers from time to time and are well worth looking out for if you want something different, often at a very reasonable price. After Christmas is often a good time. They do not appear in catalogues, although the Ramsey Guide includes a few. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fishmanoz Posted December 21, 2016 Share Posted December 21, 2016 Look up Service sheets in Help and Advice on this web site. Unfortunately, there must be at least 25 of them that are FS (I never exaggerate) but you will eventually find one that is for your model. Just run through them looking at the descriptions.

The son of Triangman Posted December 25, 2016 Share Posted December 25, 2016 The M&S trainsets all hark back to the time when a little company called Rovex was commisioned to produce a trainset for M&S. A long tradition. The set you have isn't that rare and turn up from time to time. Usual auction price is £100-£150. I have seen them make more but it will depend on who is bidding on the day.

trace_jost Posted January 6, 2017 Share Posted January 6, 2017 Just went poking around for it. I must say Scotsman looks rather handsome in blue and without those smokedeflectors on his smokebox sides. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
new lad on block Posted January 15, 2017 Share Posted January 15, 2017 Hi, With reference to the Ramsey guide.It states that the Premier train set was produced in 2006,at the time I did manage to buy one from Marks and Spencers.I rememeber it was hard to find as not all Marks and Spencers were selling them.Also At the time I was told by a salesprson that only around 200 to 250 of the sets were made and only available via Marks.Ramsey says therer are two varitaions of the Scotsman, one with Doncaster on the Buffer beam and one without.I have never seen the one without the Doncaster logo.I would presume that this particular set was produced as an after thought as at the same time Hornby were producing The Premier set Master Cutler which also had a Blue A3, Prince Palentine.Hornby did around this era produce many special mail order premier sets also, mainly for the Mail Order market.If wanting a list which I know about please enquire.
