Georgeconna Posted January 29, 2022 Share Posted January 29, 2022 Some shed needed for this yoke! Well wear. Tempted with one but this time but no, It would of been a 5 or 7 coach set if I did. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
connollystn Posted January 29, 2022 Share Posted January 29, 2022 A really nice looking model. In my opinion it was better looking than the Class 43 powered (HST) sets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
connollystn Posted January 30, 2022 Share Posted January 30, 2022 Just watched Dean Park Model Railway review Hornby R3478 [APT 7 car set]. He highlighted some issues but, have to say, it really looked good on his layout. Price wise it's in the 700€ range - gives a rough idea of what a similar length IE 22000 might cost.

Jack Posted February 2, 2022 Share Posted February 2, 2022 Opted for the 7 car set. Had to deal direct with Hornby after Hattons cancelled my pre-order. Fair play they honoured the pre-order price(£484). They applied Irish VAT so no delay with delivery. Have just ran the NDM with no issues.

connollystn Posted February 3, 2022 Share Posted February 3, 2022 @Jack - You're getting an awful lot of train for that money, certainly bargain of the year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi yes well pleased. I think Hatton's pre-order price was about £50 cheaper than Hornby's, but as I say Hattons cancelled. The Irish VAT was £13 more than the British VAT so £497 was the total. I suppose about €600. Given that I was burned by the DJM fiasco it's just good to have it in the flesh. Must crack on with the new layout!

connollystn Posted February 3, 2022 Share Posted February 3, 2022 Have to say that I'm more than a tad jealous. Models of British railway prototypes have come a long way and, in some cases, are on a par with their continental European counterparts. Won't be long before they match them on prices also. I'll watch Dean Park's review of the APT again - it'll be the nearest I'll get to owning one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
