Excellent price, Ed - shame they don't have any of the two-tone Harz-a-likes, just the original solid colour ones.

I suspect that these may be direct imports and that the "two tone Harz-a-likes" were (are?) produced to exclusive special order for the U.S. distributor, Hammonds Toys.

They both must just be MTS fitted LGB models badly described as R/C surely? At those prices, and RRPs.

It seems that the generic term "RC Train" simply means 'largescale'. The RC reference is to coaches and rolling stock. Someone in the STO marketting department seems to know diddly squat about trains.
It shows the LGB Allegra as available - are Marklin aware of this or is there a backdoor supply bypassing Marklin?

As one might expect; their duty statement would read: "sell this stuff at any cost"

[font="arial,helvetica,sans-serif"]Just seen this thread. Coaches from ECRCOASTROTOR are certainly good value (I know as I import the Hammond versions) but the high postage costs do inflate the cost somewhat - when I tried to order 4 the shipping was an additional £31.96 ![/font]

There is an online store in Sydney (Australia) that sells the 'TB' coaches for $25.00 (about 15 pound) each. How the guy does it really has me scratching my head. A few years ago, the same coaches were costing me around $85.00 each landed in OZ. He seems legit as buyers are receiving their goods.

On the other hand, until yesterday there was also an online store in Sydney selling Hornby limited edition and Barry J Freeman limited release train sets as well as other items from the Hornby range. He had multiple items listed (greater than 10 items per listing) for each listing. Now these are supposedly limited release Hornby items. The 'Buy it Now' prices were around $150.00 cheaper than other sites and in many cases, cheaper in Aussie dollars than in English pounds on UK eBay. Suprisingly, with almost no sales over two weeks the listings vanished. Two customers received goods, but one has posted negative feedback as his Hornby DMU set did not arrive.

Cheap price does not guarantee delivery.
