Kernow Model Rail Centre has selected wagons for a £5:

http://www.kernowmodelrailcentre.com/c/1657/Wagons-for-a-fiver

There’s £3.56 in wheels/couplings in each wagon... and I’ve got a whole bunch of old plastic wagon wheels to get rid of...

How much is one of these worth, if sold second hand, with plastic wheels and no coupling.. would they fetch more than £1.46 boxed ?

The 26 chassis also has the later air tanks meaning it is only suitable for a refurbished (dual braked) loco, not the earlier (vacuum braked) versions meaning the description is wrong.

Not a model bargain, but full size travel.

 

For those in Northern (trains) climes, the £10 day ticket offer is on again. Johhston Press and Trinity Mirror papers.

Always good for a spotting day out.

 

Cheers,

Continental bargains

 

 

Pierre Dominique are having a weekend pre-sale (Sales officially start on the 10th in France).  There are many, many items listed in their special promo(tion) and some are clearly near to full price, but equally there are some items (mainly older models) with some quite deep discounting.

May as well just buy a packet of wagon wheels and a packet of couplings each for about £8 for 10. It'll work out much cheaper.

Hi,

 

I've just bought a Class 27 chassis from Olivias and although it has Brown wheels it doesn't have the manky brown wheels that Heljan fitted to its first Class 33s.

 

This particular chassis is picking up ok on my rolling road.

 

However it arrived in a small box and one bogie mount was broken on arrival - the same as the chassis I hoped to repair.

 

 

Regards

 

Nick

A recently opened shop in Sutton, Surrey - Pound Store - currently has a small range of rattle can paints containing 250ml. Apart from matt and gloss black, and the usual bright colours, they also have a range called "Army Issue" with colour names such as Battle Ship Grey, Beige Grey (also called Jungle) and Grey Beige! (Also called Desert) which might be of interest for modelling, as per attached, regrettably rather poor, photo.

The BSG might have some use for wagon liveries, although a bit on the blue side, while the others may have value for weathering or landscaping.

Here is an eBay bargain, been after one of these Spraybooths for a while, reduced by a tenner to £40

 

One of my friends has one, works a treat.  Big enough for a large 4mm item of stock or a small/med 7mm rolling stock
