RMweb Premium newbryford Posted May 24, 2017 RMweb Premium Share Posted May 24, 2017 I had previously purchased from this trader through ebay with highly satisfactory service and through work, I had the chance to call in to their shop in Hippperholme, Halifax today. www.2ktechnologies.com Don't go expecting lots of RTR at discount prices - there is some, but do go expecting an Aladdin's Cave (literally) of all manner of accessories and materials and extremely friendly staff. Difficult to walk out without buying something - even if it was only two packs of Evergreen styrene. I'll be making regular detours whenever I'm near.

RMweb Premium Phil Mc Posted May 24, 2017 RMweb Premium Share Posted May 24, 2017 Regularly pass this place while at work, & often find myself calling in. The shop is like a Tardis, far bigger inside than it looks from the outside, & full of the things that lots of shops don't stock. Well worth a visit ! Cheers, Phil.

ejstubbs Posted September 23, 2018 Share Posted September 23, 2018 There seems to be something odd going on which, albeit peripherally and probably without their knowledge, involves this shop. On the 2K Technologies web site (though not in their eBay shop) they have this item listed: http://www.2ktechnologies.com/?product=Bachmann-30-170-l-m-s-brake-composite-5291-split-from-thames-clyde-set-t48-post I have found three other "shops" which have the same item listed, using the exact same photograph and item title, and with the wording taken from the "Additional Information" tab on the 2k Technologies page. All at different prices, and all substantially lower than what 2K Technologies are asking: http://www.vvogshop.top/locomotives-c-100_101_3851_3859/Bachmann-30170-lms-brake-composite-5291-split-from-thames-clyde-set-t48-post-p-8060.shtml http://www.koitshop.top/locomotives-c-690_749_752_754/Bachmann-30170-lms-brake-composite-5291-split-from-thames-clyde-set-t48-post-p-5707.htm&language=en http://www.vtkoymalls.top/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=7127 The sites themselves all have the same "about us" info which burbles on about being "a leading international online fashion store". Two out of those three web sites show the PayPal logo at the foot of the page but they don't actually take PayPal at the checkout - you have to enter payment card details directly. On the 'French' site I found a listing for a Lima non-powered bogie which is a straight lift from this live eBay listing. These 'parasite' sites smell strongly to me of a scam: fake web sites built using other retailers' listings to lure punters in and steal their card info. I don't believe that 2K Technologies have any involvement in this, they've simply been used unwittingly as a source of fake product info for the scam sites. Bottom line: beware of the above three web sites, but by all means support 2K Technologies either through their web site or their eBay shop. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
