We are now looking forward to the start of the modelling season. Wells show is less than a week away and to us marks the start of the season, and Telford is only a month away. If you have never been to Rail Wells it is well worth the effort. Good quality models, good demos, good trade support, decent food and a well managed show. There is also plenty to do in Wells for partners.

Please remember to get you pre-orders in for shows. It saves you time and ensures you get what you came for.

Last months special offer on the Watchmakers Vice was so successful that we ran out of extra mounting plates, as did our supplier. They should be available within a couple of weeks. This offer continues until the end of August and is £10 off our Watchmakers Vice and free postage (UK excluding Highlands and Islands). Also £3 off the spare mounting plates. This applies only to our part numbers TLSWMV and TLSWMVB, making the price with the offer £70 and £10 for a second baseplate.

This vice is similar in design to a product from Bergeon which I have recently seen retailing at £234.00. A very battered example (not even claiming to be made by Bergeon) recently sold on EBay for more than my offer price.

All these offers are for web orders only (including web orders for show collection), please enter "AUGUST2013" in the comments box on checkout. This applies until the end of August 2013.

Open Day

Thank you for all those who attended the open day. Once again a great success and thanks for all the complements. We have already put it in the diary for 28th June 2014.

Small Taps and Dies

We have now secured a source of 14BA and 16BA taps due in stock soon, but are still unable to obtain dies.12BA and larger are not a problem.

Soldering Course

There is one place left on the soldering course on 17th August. If you are interested please contact us to register your interest and give us some idea of your needs.




Full details of all our other products are on our website.
