dan1707817931 Posted January 24, 2016 Share Posted January 24, 2016 Finally picked up an Exeter from Hamleys yesterday.Hailing from Exeter (and now living in London), it was great to finally pick one up, although it take some time - they ordered Exeters, Budes etc in before Christmas and only got them yesterday. Guess how many Exeters were sent to Hamleys?Two. Yep, two.The guy there previously advised me they would be getting anywhere between two and nine Exeters, so glad I kept on pestering him!Shame I won't run it until March when I next spend the weekend with my parents...

winman Posted January 26, 2016 Share Posted January 26, 2016 Picked up a cheap Railroad Class 55 the other day, fantastic runner! Looking for another now as I have an relatively old Lima Class 55 body that would fit nicely to run as a pair Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buz Posted January 28, 2016 Share Posted January 28, 2016 Been after one of these for years -would probably got one if I'd been prepared to put a high enough bid!I know exactly how you feel Uhm I was trying to get a Decauville 0-4-0 but that went to.Where ever that person is send the padded van round type prices it went for, are you siting down about 130 pounds,Thats just plain madness a good one is generaly about the 50 pound mark don't know what made that one so specialSome what in anger and discust I threw so to speak, a very low bid at that one and went for a calming cup of tea, Thinking no way are you going to get that at that stupidly low bid 20 poundsThen low and behold enjoy your railcar.I am still looking at it thinking OK whats wrong I don't have this kind of luck.I guess it really is all just the luck of the day and who wants what and why.The sillyist thing I have come across is I bought a brand new little narrow gauge halt the new blue box mobs one.The poor hobby shop owner ?/ staff member? was just about in tears as I was told the postage cost was going to be 12 pounds something near enough to three pounds more than the building price and its a tiny little thing.Nice but tinyregards John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

choralc Posted January 29, 2016 Share Posted January 29, 2016 Yesterday the LMS 4-4-0 bundle deal arrived already had the two coaches from last June's discount offers but I also added R4656 and R4677A Non-corridor stock to the order. Plenty of room in the tender for a sound module. Hmmm. Today came the last of the orders made last year after being returned by the courier. Seven weeks for this one compared to eight days for the order above. R3302 1940: Returm From Dunkirk. Lovely little loco although the tender has a weight inside restricting the space to a Hornby R8249 or smaller. Six wheel pick up in the tender and beautifully detailed loco. The coaches are nice too! Picked up some Maunsell 6 compartments a week ago (R4339A & B, R4341A ) 2 brakes and a composite. Both locos chipped and run-in on the rolling road after being added to the RM loco list.

Following others suggestions re club membership, took the (online) plunge, paid the annual fee,of £15, and with the total for the 2 items coming to £22.19, (post free!) a fabulous deal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
walkingthedog Posted February 4, 2016 Share Posted February 4, 2016 Good on yer Bulver. I managed to get both Terriers for total of £30, last years and this years club voucher. My membership renewed the weekend the locos became available. What a bargain. 😆 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bulleidboy Posted February 4, 2016 Share Posted February 4, 2016 I've added Whitechapel to my collection too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bulver Posted February 5, 2016 Share Posted February 5, 2016 Not my region of first choice (coming from Middlesex) but it is such a lovely loco, couldn't resist. Another box to add to the selection, one day I might even get to run it properly! And, I have always had a soft spot for the Bulleid 4-6-0s, so got a Wrenn/Hornby hybrid of WC class too (Margate motorised tender with unmotorised Harlow body) goes very well. Body lines are as lovely as the Midland 'Coronations' to my eye.Rod Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2e0dtoeric Posted February 5, 2016 Share Posted February 5, 2016 The two new releases of four-wheel coal wagons from Oxford. They look very tasty, too. I've not taken them out of the boxes yet, so what they roll like I don't know (see the wheels discussion!) Photo's later, when I get chance.
