I needn't have bothered ordering. They have more than ten on the shelf. Oddly, there is no mention of the price being a reduction. It came very nicely packed, in a tightly fitting plain cardboard box, which was inside another tightly fitting cardboard box. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well I’ve never seen them that cheap before, and Hattons have three secondhand ones for over £200 each When they first came out I am sure they were over what I would have paid for one just because they were NRM versions, but these are the price of a normal kettle.

Expecting a flurry of micro layouts on RMWeb soon! You'd probably better looking at the 10+ listings that have appeared on eBay over the weekend. Think more people have bought with the view to making a buck as opposed to a layout, and to be honest, the way that high end models are priced nowadays, I really don't blame them.

RMweb Premium John M Upton Posted December 17, 2019 RMweb Premium Share Posted December 17, 2019 I have to say both the big box shifters Christmas advent bargains didn't really strike me as proper bargains, more being offered at the prices they should have been retailed at from the get go.

It is very annoying to have forked out top dollar for a model only to find it mark down considerably after a relative short period of time. Nothing Grabbed me either. Some of the Same bargains were really out there earlier in the year. 1 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
