Good fair price, I definitely get a pack if there not sold out by the weekend.

Almost all Bachmann limited Editions are based on a run size of around 500 / 504 for the UK market the same as the Irish Market. Also the normal hopper can be rerun again for a twin pack with very little artwork. I would happily pay 15 to 20% for this excellent Irish edition but I think alot of people will get to the stage where enough is enough. At least with Murphys you pay the extra for Excellent Irish detailed models.

Hi Retro, the Bachmann website shows clearly the Railtrack version is £37.75 rrp. It also shows yet to be released class 47's at £101.60 and if we look at Model Rail Mag Regional Class 47 yet to be released priced £115.95, mark up around 15% on the standard release. So why is it that yellow paint is so expensive or why the mark up of over 30%?? I cannot find any other example of such a ridiculous mark up. Just stating facts not nonsense.

It really is hard to understand why these are priced so high. The typical mark up on Bachmann limited editions in the UK by shops and mags is around 15%. Railtrack hopper RRP by Bachmann for the UK market is £37.75 which means with 15% added would be £43.41. This works out much closer to the Euro price south of the border. The arm is stuck in that little bit further again for modelling irish and this must damage the chances of a quick turn over of stock and the standard wagons being released. I will wait and get my set in Euroland!

Certainly a couple of 170's done as NIR Caf's would be a must buy.
