Jubilee Newsletter

Welcome to our Jubilee newsletter. Our best wishes to the Queen on this magnificent achievement.

We are all looking forward to celebrating the Queens Jubilee, and the associated days off. If you are looking for something to do instead, see the Special offer and take advantage of a bargain.

Stock Status

We are pleased to say that most stock levels are back to normal. The only on-going issue is wheels

We have re-introduced selected items from DCC Concepts to our range, including Cobalt Digital Point Motors, Rolling Roads and Weathering Powders. We will increase the range if we see demand.

We continue to see a number of significant price rises and are trying our best to absorb wherever possible. The rises tend to be in the 10% to 15% area and we expect those that have not risen will do so soon. Now is the time to stock up before further rises happen. Especially with our Jubilee offer.

Parkside Kits

Peco have now started shipping kits with their own wheels, in place of Gibson. So far this only applies to 3 hold disc wheelsets.

We have looked at the new wheels and they are of different construction to the Gibson ones. The disc and tyre are all metal held to the axle with a small plastic bush. So they should be easily eased out to EM if needed. The only other observation is that they grey, not black like the Gibsons.

The consequence of this is that we are no longer able to offer wheel swaps on 3 hole discs, as it is not viable stock or sell the Peco wheels released from the kits.

We will continue to offer wheel swaps on all the spoked, coach, lowmac etc. It only applies to 3 hole disc.

We do not like withdrawing this facility, but have no real choice. Thank you for your understanding on this matter.

Special Offer

To celebrate the Queens Jubilee we have a special offer, for website orders only. A massive 15% off everything from now until Sunday 5th June 2022. Orders will be shipped as soon as possible, but remember we are not in on the bank holidays.

To take advantage of this offer simply type JUBILEE in the Coupon box underneath the Shipping Method options and a discount of 15% off all goods will be applied at the final page.

We look forward to your orders.

Exhibitions

There is a major clash in September with Stafford and Scaleforum being on the same weekend. It is physically impossible for us to have a full stand at both shows, so we have had a very hard decision. So for this year only (hopefully) we will be at Stafford with the stand. In order to service our customers at Scaleforum Derek will be at the show both days and will take pre-orders for collection, and hopefully enjoy the show. He looks forward to greeting you all on the day.

We are delighted to be back out at shows meeting many of our wonderful customers in person.
