I find this quite strange, as this is a pretty new range, but Hornby have slashed prices of all East Midlands Trains and Cross Country HST loco packs and coaches, Does anybody know why?
There are even better bargains to be had in model shops too. Hornby have cut all HST coaches to £19.99, but I have picked up an EMT buffet car (R4417) for £18.99 from Model Zone, and First Class (R4414) for £16 and Standard Class (R4415B) for £18 from Hattons. I completed the set with Standard Class (R4415A) and TGS (R4416) for a bargain £14.99 each off E-Bay in brand new mint condition.
Sadly I had already purchased the buffet car before seeing it for £16 at Hattons.
The loco packs are also reduced on Hattons to £106 for the DCC ready and £122 for DCC fitted. These will have to wait a while, but I have the Midland Mainline liveried HST locos to pull them round, as was seen quite a lot in real life.
Back to the original post though, why are they selling them off? New packaging coming soon? updated models? General sale?
