Important train announcements:

NOTE that at the moment prices are subject to change as the £/$ and £/Euro rates are changing daily.

25th June - Now here, Accucraft Welshpool &Llanfair coaches, matching Earl/Countess locomotive soon - see pictures on the Accucraft page

20th June - Orders taken soon for the long awaited Accucraft Isle of Man bogie coaches, due soon - see pictures on the Accucraft page

7th June - Please look out for 2 narrow gauge kits for Indian diesels. These will be all metal complete with radio control, 12volt and with twin motor bogies (batteries and charger not included). They should be around the £350-£400 price range. These are not kits for beginners and need quite a bit of assembly work but you will have an unusual model. See pictures.

If anyone is looking for ATLAS 0 gauge 2 0r 3 rail or KATO n/ho I can now get these to order

27th.April - Few new LINKs on my links to various other websites page. You might want to try it?

9th.April - I now have T scale trains in stock

26th.March - I now have the new PHOENIX SOUND P9B sound systems. I also have some ofthe 6amp Massoth XXL decoders. And if you are looking for a lot of track ACCUcRAFT (code 332 compatible with all other makes I have) is no available in 6ft and 3ft lengths of flexi track - see my ACCUCRAFT Page

25th February - Very sorry to report that Bachmann and Aristocraft prices have all gone up from 23rd February. Looking at sample prices the increase ranges from 20% to in some cases almost 50%. LGB again incresed their prices as from the start of February ans POLA and PIKO went up by 20% a few weeks ago. This is not good news for me either.

4tt February - More information on my DIGITAL control page

3rd February - More new things from Scottish Garden Railways. First, how about G scale trains running in your G scale house garden. That would have to be about 1:450 scale you laugh. Stop laughing and look at T scale on my Tscale page.

If you are interested in modern 00 traction I can also supply Vi-Trains class 37 and class 47. Have a look at my Vitrains page

5th January - The new PIKO railbus is here. First one has had Massoth VT98 XLS sound decoder fitted. Nice model -

21st November - A fairly unusual addition to the Bachmann Brassworks range is a Double Fairlie locomotive. There is also now a GWR Prairie tank 2-6-2 locomotive.
