I picked one up for £80 albeit second hand in plain green but it is in excellent condition. Defo right place, right time if that's the retail price on a new one! You can get two car southern EMU's for between £80 - £120 second hand if you dig around. Hi, Yes, I've bought 17 second hand Bachmann 4 CEPs recently at an average of £130 each (for motor bogies, the trailing bogies, split axle pickups and other spare parts). I'm sure that doesn't look like a bargain now but I'm taking a punt (for instance I don't think anybody else makes the type of trailing bogies used on the CEP and some other BR(SR) EMUs/DEMUs).

I took advantage of this for my grandson earlier this morning for £99.50 including delivery. https://www.hawkin.com/harry-potter-hogwarts-express-Hornby-r1234m As of 12.35pm today this set was still available for £99.50 which includes the Hornby Midimat and comes with free delivery. The same set was/is available from the normal model railway outlets WITHOUT the Hornby Midimat. The difference is in the Hornby Part Number. The sets at Hawkin are R1234m. The normal sets are Part Number R1234. That last "m" in the part number is very significant and is the one that contains the midimat. Hope that clarifies what you will actually receive.
