Following last year’s successful Practically Perfect Sale at the Battlefield Line, we are delighted to confirm we will once again be in the Goods Shed at Market Bosworth Station on Sunday 8th June 2025 with this year’s sale and a great day out. We will have fantastic bargains on repaired and refurbished locomotives and rolling stock from the Branchline, Graham Farish, Narrow Gauge and Thomas & Friends™ ranges, plus some Scenecraft, Liliput and Bachmann Trains items and accessories.
Open from 10:00 until 13:00 for Club members only, a valid membership card will be required to gain entry to the sale (carers/chaperones who are not members will be granted entry at our discretion). There will also be a heritage bus providing free travel from the station to Hinckley where our Model, Collect, Create (MCC) hobby centre will be open specially for Club members and where you can shop from the vast range of brand new Bachmann products that are available in store, including some great bargains in the MCC clearance sale. The MCC hobby centre also offers a price matching service exclusively for Bachmann Collectors Club members.
Once again the Battlefield Line is offering Club members discounted train tickets which are priced at just £10.00 for unlimited travel on the railway on Sunday 8th June so you can make a full day of your visit. The onsite café will be open for refreshments and there is plentiful free car parking available at Market Bosworth Station. Members can also park at Shackerstone Station and travel by train to Market Bosworth, departing Shackerstone at 09:45 and arriving in time for the opening of the event (travel ticket required).
Items for sale will have been repaired and tested by the Bachmann Service Department and will be ‘sold as seen’ at individually marked prices. Motorised items come with a one-month warranty.
