Guys who has the best online deal on these at the moment, please
Or, has anybody got any second hand they want to sell?
I'm having a bit of a change round........
Thanks
 
Not sure if this is the best price for Piko GR3 but worth a look:

If you want a UK supplier, then Top Slots'n'Trains always seem to do good pricing on Piko stuff - I've only ordered from them once (some Piko metal wheelsets) but was very happy with their pricing and quick service:

Be aware that the curvature is different between makes.
Piko is 900/1200mm approx whilst Trainline is 1200/2100mm approx.

Now one of those figures has to be wrong, surely??

Almost right. The curved turnout is R3/R5 - 920mm/1240mm.

Just by chance I have been trying out some alterations to my layout using AnyRail software with PIKO R3 track.
Here is the results of using both brands.

His prices have always been great, he lists most major track manufacturers and often has good second hand Aristo track
