Deem Posted August 12 Author Share Posted August 12 Further update, I thought I put in quite high bid but obviously someone must needed more than me and they went higher to me so I didn't get the Elite. So still in the hunt for screen or another elite which I can afford to buy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brew Man Posted August 12 Share Posted August 12 (edited) A great pity Hattons has gone. They used to regularly have pre-owned Elites at reasonable prices. Rails have them new for £279.95, a 14% improvement on Hornby's RRP Edited August 12 by Brew Man Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rails have them new for £279.95, a 14% improvement on Hornby's RRP Thanks, @Brew Man I have seen brand new else where for under 240 included postage. Main issue is to have that kind of money spare. I am selling few of my locos on ebay, will list them today so once they get sold than I should have enough money to buy brand new Elitw. That way I have piece of mind as well, at least it will come with warranty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
