Little bit of retail therapy and a good example of why to support your local model shop. Went in today needing some more brass coupling chain, which they didn't have, so I asked if they'd be getting of these Oxford Rail banana vans in, and fortunately they were just in the process of unpacking them, to the point where they hadn't been priced up yet! However, on discussion with the shop, they said that as Oxford have now been acquired by Hornby, the prices were going to go up by a considerable amount- with Hornbys very liberal attitude to changing prices, this simple 4 wheel can could end up around £35!! However, as the shop haven't been told the new prices yet, they were more than happy to honour the preadvertised RRP of £15, which is what I would have paid + postage if I'd brought it online. Long story short- support your local shops!
