Good video. I like the Iver, but now that it's produced by Stuart it's way too expensive for me.
I think that Stuart have made a miskate by starting of with the Iver. They should have started with one of the more popular models like the Samsom or Hercules.

You've hit the nail on the head there. If it was more like the original Cheddar price (£399) I might even have bought one and tried a few cosmetic improvements on it...but £585 is far, far too much.steamyjim wrote:I have to say i like it but i just think its to expensive for what it is.
Still, thinks are only worth what people will pay for them, and if this batch dosn't sell then sooner or later Stuart will be forced to lower the price to get them off their hands...

I did not have any Cheddar Models catalogues, but I'm sure it ended up a lot more than that price before Cheddar's demise. I'm sure steamyjim can tell us the last official Cheddar price.the original Cheddar price (£399)
As I've previously pointed out, unless you are a resident of the Channel Islands or intend on collecting your Stuart Iver (and you would still be liable for the VAT on re-entering the UK, or any EU country in fact), then the price is £585 excluding VAT, which is £104.48 plus P&P of £12, making the actual cost £701.48.

And whilst the debate goes on about the Iver, did anyone see the Buy It Now Iver for £150 on ebay. I did not and that was a real bargain - http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Cheddar-Iver-16mm ... dZViewItem
It was only on there for 14 minutes!
The buyer has also just won the wobbly MSS Saddle Tank loco as well. Are they starting a railway or is it another case of buy to resell for profit?

Well I got that figure out of an old catalouge, wouldn't surprise me if it had increased over time though.CCairns wrote:I did not have any Cheddar Models catalogues, but I'm sure it ended up a lot more than that price before Cheddar's demise.the original Cheddar price (£399)

Thankfully they are not a member of this Forum otherwise the price would have been much greater.Why cant everyone sell stuff that price lol?!!!
The wait for the Isle of Man Edrigs has probably been affected by its popularity on this Forum. Silence has its advantages some times.
