Hi Andrew,
Yes - it's a good price.....
Mind you, when you add the standard Walthers Shipping Fee to the UK of $40.00 plus you will have to pay UK VAT and the Royal Mail or Parcel Force 'Collection of VAT Fee'.
You would still be better off buying from one of the known UK importers at about the

The 009 society and Tootally Thomas have been selling them in the UK
I've written to Bachmann UK and Bachmann USA asking them to clarify. Hopefully we will get a respose.
Aside, it is sad that one cannot even post a helpful piece of information to the 009 Society site without starting-off this sort of thing...
Bachmann UK can not sell/supply them
But you Can buy them from the USA & then resell them here

I'm not fully up to speed on sales matters at the moment Richard, but as nobody else has reacted, then my six pennyworth - I don't think the 009 Society have been selling them, so I think it wise to check this out. The only ones they are likely to have had through sales are secondhand ones and at present the only new stock that is dealt with is Minitrains, through an arrangement made with Andreas Schonfeld.

Mick, the 009 Society did sell a batch of the Skarloey locos, how many I am not sure.
The reason I have commented, is I bought one and you photographed it on Llanrug at Shepton Mallet.
They were brand new locos.
Stan.

It is helpful info, thank you.
We are just saying that importing from the US is getting expensive and it might we worth trying the UK options first if you want one.
Although they UK options may not have any at the moment.
