Straight wire now available from Cambrian

Postby Bill Newstead » Tue Apr 11, 2023 7:56 pm

From the Cambrian website at https://www.cambrianmodelrail.co.uk/sto ... c148548506

'We have acquired the entire stock of straight metal wire from the liquidators of Eileen's Emporium. It is offered here as a trial which if successful will be a permanent feature of the site.'

But not the straight steel wire for axles,etc?

Or I couldn't find it on the site.

Hi,

I have just given Cambrian a try for straight wire.

The order arrived very quickly, was exactly as described and, as an added bonus, was far cheaper per pack than the Eileen's Emporium price (which is why I stopped buying from them in the first place).

No connection apart from being a satisfied customer.

Cheers,

Richard

Better stock up then, they won't be able to buy from the liquidator when they need to restock. :)

Or perhaps they have taken a different view on a reasonable margin to be made from selling straight wire?

(But I have stocked up just in case!! :)

Cheers,

When I heard the news, I bought some, I hope that it will be on the mat, when I get back on the right side of the pond. The emails say that it should be.

Cheers Phil.

Available from Nairnshire Modelling Supplies via ebay, Dave - more expensive at £5.25 for 10, but then I don't know what Cambrian charge for postage.

Other suppliers are available
That would be an ecumenical matter.
