Bachmann in cooperation with the London Transport Museum are releasing a 00 gauge Underground S Stock train . see here:- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sgG3dgyPZ-Q
At £280 for a four car set and £439 for a seven car set, they are way out of the price range for me and many other modellers. They will only be available from the Museum,
At Acton Depot Open weekend – SUNDAY 27 September ONLY. Models available to purchase only – NO collection facilities available for pre–order.
At Covent Garden store (museum) from 11.00 on Friday 2 October for the duration of stock availability.
Online from Museum, dispatch date from the 29th September.
Would love one of these but they are way too expensive.

Re: Bachmann to release Underground s stock
Model railway equipment is way too expensive these days , It makes my eyes water when I see some of the prices in Rail Express magazine : £40-50 for a 00 gauge carriage , £210 for a pair of Hornby HST powercars !!
So glad I use Trainz as my modelling fix these days

I stopped buying stuff for my N gauge years ago. Like you nexus, Trainz has provided me with a modelling fix of sorts.

Re: Bachmann to release Underground s stock
An 009 narrow gauge loco I bought in the 60's for just over a quid is now retailing for £80 a white metal kit I bought for 7s 6d for the kit and £1 10s for the chassis will now cost me £9.00 for the kit and £35 for the chassis, I'm not even going to mention the extortionate cost of OO gauge stuff, which used to be pocket money prices....................
Thankfully I found Trainz!

I've long wanted more ready to run tube stock, this is almost worth rummaging into the long term savings for!

Re: Bachmann to release Underground s stock
I've been going down the route of picking up bargains when I spot them or buying second hand, and have managed to build up a decent little collection of N gauge, with a plan to eventually build a little end to end layout for it all.PFX wrote:I stopped buying stuff for my N gauge years ago.
I can't afford to buy everything new and at full price - I'd probably be bankrupt by now if I did.

Re: Bachmann to release Underground s stock
It's very expensive, but I think it's a good model and here in Italy we have to pay €475 (!) for the ETR401 Pendolino (4 cars) set in H0 scale... I don't know the change between euros and pounds, but I think the LU stock price is (relatively) a good price.
