"Everything we can't sell and you don't want, in one box!"

[@dcb_trains]

Easy way for them to shift stock and you get items at a cheaper price, win win situation

[@Valleys56xx]

Good value there - essentially Titfield Thunderbolt pack at a good price and the rest for free...

[@dcb_trains]

Exactly that, can’t go wrong with the value.

[@PolishThatHandle346]

It's clever how manufacturers use overinflated prices to convince you you've got a bargain

[@IainDavies-z2l]

Looks like they are off loading a lot of stuff they can't sell, saw the ATP E in IC 125 livery for £260 in a model ahop.

[@dcb_trains]

I think people aren’t buying as much right now with everything going on so have spare stock. It’s a clever way to shift stuff and still make some money and the customers gets a better price

[@Alpha-oo8]

I almost considered buying a mystery box, but I’m in Australia so they refused to post here. Boo

[@dcb_trains]

That’s so annoying

[@GWRailFan]

Nice one, i was actually looking at the £100 one last night and decided against it as i was worried id get sone hard to sell stock 🤣

[@tonypetts6663]

Nice pack, the tramcar was also featured in the Titfield thunderbolt film as well, although it was grey with red lining (I think).

[@dcb_trains]

Yeh you are right, they do sell that one with the correct livery but I imagine it sold well so won’t be giving it away in a pack

[@trainspotterlive2133]

How do I buy one

[@dcb_trains]

Go on to Rapdio Uk website, I think they have sold out now but worth checking

[@dibsyardshuntinglayout]

Looks like great value, but only a couple of the wagons would be of use to me. Probably best I did not go for one.

[@dcb_trains]

The value is good but like you say it just depends if you can make use of the items you get. I think I will sell a couple of bits on to be fair

[@dibsyardshuntinglayout]

@@dcb_trains it's a shame you can't specify era and get an era specific mystery box.

[@dibsyardshuntinglayout]

@@dcb_trains a box full of plank wagons and toads would suit me better!

[@dcb_trains]

@@dibsyardshuntinglayout that would be ideal, i would order another if you could do that

[@montyburns56]

You're lucky that you got the actual Titfield Thunderbolt set as most people seemed to have received separate models of Lion and the Wisbech & Upwell coaches in their packs.

[@dcb_trains]

All part of mystery isn’t it. I think I would had preferred the lion itself to be honest. Not the biggest fan of the livery on this.
