Price of Q1 R.R.P. £52.50

Duff info - its not unusual for reviews to quote incorrect RRPs - note the Much Ado ad on page 107 of Model Rail quotes the RRP as £69.99

Hi All

So how on earth did Model Rail And Railway Modeller both get it wrong ?? Don't suppose they ring each other up to discuss it on a day to day basis ( custard pies at 10yrds) :o))

All the best Steve

The same way that some manufacturers make mistakes when designing their models - inadequate research! ;-)

John.

Hi Steve

You're right to point that out. The real reason is that a batch of Hornby order forms had a misprint/error which listed the cheaper RRP. I presume that Model Rail and Railway Modeller both had the same, incorrect list.

That would be the same lists that had the *new* Pullmans at £24.99 before they upped the RRP to £29.99 (or £30.00).

I thought you were right, Steve - according to the Hornby Price Lists issued with their catalogue earlier in the year (AND still being handed out by Hornby stockists) the RRP is £52.50. A couple of model shops I've visited recently are indeed selling them at this price. Regards, Paul.

Hi Paul

I bet you don't live down south I wouldn't have that luck or have you been to all the shops you can find buying up all the stock at £52.50 a kill ? good luck to you !!!

All the best Steve
