Sex Sells! - That’s right, we all know it and so do the manufacturers but I didn’t really expect to find sex in model railways.
This morning I received my package from OnTracks, that contained a couple of bits I had ordered (2 weeks ago) a BR Railfreight Class 56 and some acrylic spray paint. In the box there was a Noch catalogue, so having 5 minutes spare I thought I would have a peruse and see what they had to offer.
Having done a bit of research recently regarding entry level Hornby train sets, I thought I would put together a post detailing where there are bargains to be had on the high street.
There seems to be a real string of very similar entry levels train sets from Hornby at the moment, many are being released as exclusives for various mail order and high street stores and thanks to Woolworths for slashing the price of their Midland Flyer Train Set, it’s forced the other retailers to bring the sets in-line with Woolies.
You can currently pick up a new train set, complete with a little 0-4-0 steam locomotive, passenger carriage, lowmac and two other wagons for the timely sum of £39.99. You also get an oval of track with a siding, the power controller, loads of trackside accessories and a trakmat. The set also comes with a bunch of trackside bits and bobs such as buffers and signals etc.
