Continental Lima (European)

[MPearson]

Hello,

Does anyone know of a shop / distributor in Europe who will supply European continental models to UK customers. I am looking for a supplier that has a web site.

Thanks

Looking for Lima stuff?

My local mecca (Sydney) stocks heaps of Lima stuff from Europe. What are you looking for in particular? (They do not have a website). As an indication:

4 car sets (powered):
Eurostar FS electric TV age $249 AUS
Coaches Orient Express $27 AUS
Electric Locos:
Class E424 of the FS $99 AUS

Thaly's set (4 cars, powered with track) $149 AUS

They are just examples from the ad in Aust Model Railway Mag.

It's about 33p to the dollar, so take $AUS/3 for pommie pounds.

Considering the hole the $AUS is in, that should be pretty good value for you.

Anything in particular you are looking for?

another site.

Oh.... I just had a look here It's a US site, and comparing prices ($AUS to $US) some items are a little cheaper, and some are more expensive. (Not by much though) varies by about $10 - $15 US up/down. This site was referenced in an earlier thread for Lima suppliers. It's not Europe, but we're getting closer!

I lives in Spain, but I always made my purchases of european rolling stock in Basar Valira in Andorra (www.basarvalira.com) because they have very good prices. Check with they the shipping costs to UK. I know also another site in Germany that works with the most known brands and ships to all countries in Europe: www.modellbahn-kramm.com

Good luck!

Thanks to Shamus as well. I have sent an email to Sharp Models enquiring. I will see what response I get.

Topo - I to have been to the shop in Andorra, I have sent them an email, but their internet site is very limited and does not contain much of their stock. The shop was fantastic, I would visit it more often except it about 1000 miles from my home.

All I can go by, at this point, is the ad in Aust Model Raliway Mag.

Not sure if this is what you want but:

This is what is listed in their ad:

4 Car Sets (Powered)
Eurostar FS Electric TV age (red) also V age (red) and V age (blue) $249 AUS

TGV "Pendulaire" of the SNCF $449 AUS



TGV 4 Car Sets:
Pendulaire SNCF (blue) $399
Sud-EST SNCF Vage (orange) $419 AUS
3 Car add on set Pendulaire $169 AUS


4 Car Train Sets with Track (without controller)

Thalys Set
TGV Orange
TGV Atlantique (blue) all $149 AUS
TGV Eurostar (yellow) $179 AUS
ETR450 Pendolino (red) $149 AUS
Controller additional $20 AUS.

Does any of that mean anything to you??

The Pendolino "add on set" is not specifically mentioned.

I should add, that these prices are inclusive of 10% GST (VAT), and it may be refundable for overseas purchases.

Current exchange rate is .35p = $1 (ie $AUS * .35)
