Nice coaches there Kevin. Not sure if you have heard this mate but some HST's are going/have done to Mexico for use on their railways :). I like the livery on these models thought as I used to live in Nottingham and Peterborough and used to see these a lot.
Cheers Peter & thanks for watching my video and comment. No I wasn't aware class 43's were heading off to Mexico. Better that than being chopped up for scrap metal. I often go to Nottingham for shopping trip out with wife. So I've also seen these in real life. ATB mate, Kevin 🙋♂️🤝👍
Thank you so very much for watching my video and comment. I found going via Ebay to CMC things were dearer. Take these coaches for example. £25 on website & delivery was a total of £4. So for the 2 coaches worked out £27 each. On Ebay they were £29 including free postage, so would have cost me £58 via ebay than the £54 direct with CMC. So be vary of that in future mate. ATB Kevin 👨🔧🤝👍
@@bluebellcentralmodelrailwa4064 I was lucky to win the ebay auction at a great price. I was impressed by the packaging and speedy delivery. Just wanted to give a thumbs up. I only buy model kits...
Thank you Clive for watching my video and comment. Its just a pity they don't do every coach as they only do a few of each livery at such great prices. Cheers mate, hope you are well. ATB Kevin 🙋♂️🤝👍
Excellent video kev mate fantastic price for those East Midlands coaches, I know that livery very well through working for SWT for many many years as they were owned by stagecoach until they lost there franchise otherwise I would still be working for them now kind regards Danny 😉
Thanks for watching my video Danny and comment. I like the red white & blue colour scheme on these coaches. I've got another vid to make & upload on more of these East Midlands Trains coaches that someone got for me from car boot sale near him somewhere down Wolverhampton Birmingham area. So need to get that done. Cheers mate hope you are ok, ATB Kevin 🙋♂️ 🤝👍
Hiya... nice buy... were they 2nd hand or new and were they discounted because of the missing ladder at one end or is there supposed to be only one ladder at that end
Thank you so very much James for watching my video and comment. These are brand new coaches. They haven't been out long from Hornby. Certain retailers can sell some models at low prices. Hornby control the prices retailers can sell at, thus limiting the discounts that can be given. Shops will still be making some profit at £25. Just shows the ones who sell at full RRP are ripping us all of. All the mk3 coaches have the coaches with 2 ladders 1 end & only 1 at other end. This is correct, the ladder isn't missing, it's like that. Cheers James, ATB Kevin 👨🔧🤝👍
@@bluebellcentralmodelrailwa4064 Thanks for that... I just thought that because you mentioned it there was an issue with there only being one ladder on one end only
@@jamesbeckwith3639 hi James, reason I mentioned the ladder thing is because unless someone says about it everyone receiving these would think Oh its missing. As I did at first. So hopefully puts people's minds at rest. ATB mate best wishes Kevin 👨🔧🤝👍

I bought a lovely trumpeter kit from CMC last week (via ebay) thoroughly recommended.

Nice video mate,
Thank you S for watching my video and comment. They were a good price at £25 considering RRP at Hornby is £44:99
Nice coach for that money 👍
Thank you so very much Ciaran for watching my video and comment. Was a great saving off the RRP at £44:99 when I paid £25. Cheers ATB 🙋♂️ 🤝👍 Kevin
