RMweb Premium mezzoman253 Posted January 9, 2020 RMweb Premium Share Posted January 9, 2020 6 hours ago, john new said: My guess is the prices will be but the stock in any specific shop will depend on what they have left over from their pre-XMAS buy in specially stocks, our local ASDA for example didn't have any in before Christmas so doubt they will have any now at the clearance rate price. Spot on, I worked for Hobbycraft some years ago and that was the way things were done. I assume it's the same now. Generally the price will be governed by head office. So any stores that have them will show the same price. You should be able to ring your local store to see if there are any in stock and they will reserve it for you. See https://www.hobbycraft.co.uk/storefinder for the nearest store and number. HTH Rob 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

None of them had any train sets, at any price! None to be seen in the Cardiff Hobbycraft or Coryton ASDA. But I did come away from Hobbycraft with quite a few other useful bits and pieces, including a paint pen which is something I didn't know existed.

RMweb Premium Dragonfly Posted January 10, 2020 RMweb Premium Share Posted January 10, 2020 I visited the Hobbycraft at Bridgmere garden centre near Crewe yesterday and took away the last of their £12.50 train sets. Agreed, there's plenty of very useful other items there too, at good prices, but I was very short of time so will be returning tomorrow. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That answers the question of whether I head there for a look today. Perhaps a trip to the Telford branch instead. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Foulounoux Posted January 11, 2020 Share Posted January 11, 2020 Hobbycraft Havant have been relieved of their last It was marked up at £50.00 so I queried at the till. It's 12:50 sir we just haven't been able to get the reduced price labels on them So worth checking if your local store has some still showing 50 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

26power Posted January 13, 2020 Share Posted January 13, 2020 Aldi palm router: reduced from £29.99 to £12.99. At least in Dumfries store! This one: https://www.aldi.co.uk/ferrex-600w-palm-router/p/018278285168900 No doubt has its limitations but worth a try, I think. Also had a planer with same reduction but probably less model railway related. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

jchinuk Posted January 17, 2020 Share Posted January 17, 2020 I was in my local branch of 'Hobbycraft' (Romford) yesterday and they are selling the Hornby Christmas Train set at an agreeable £12.50, not bad for an oval of track and the controller, let alone the locomotive and wagons. I can't find it on the 'Hobbycraft' website, so it might be in stores only or that might be me! They had about five sets left in Romford, upstairs right at the back, next to the jigsaws. jh 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They had about five sets left in Romford, upstairs right at the back, next to the jigsaws.jh As discussed above, they're in some Hobbycraft stores, not in others, and if it's showing a higher price it seems that a nice word with the peopel at the till can get it down to £12.50 (which is by far the cheapest I've ever seen for a new Hornby train set - I did get a Mehano set with a rather nice controller for about that from Amazon once). Sadly if they had them in Cardiff I was too late... 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
