COVID -19

OK so we are now in another lockdown phase, we are open to visitors but as the showroom is quite small we would request that you make an appointment first,

It would look like our first show will not be until 2022 possibly Doncaster, as willl be aware Reading is cancelled and I had made other arrangement so unfortunately could not make the Swindon show.

BR standard class 5

The pre-production model is on its way from Korea, we have some new photos on the 55H website. We are aware that teh factory have made the chimney too high by 2mm and the boiler/firebox too small by the same amount, similarly the position of some of the lining. This is an unfortunate by-product of not been able to travel over there to check due to Covid. Similarly they have produced an ex-works finish, it is our intention that all locos will have no brass//copper finishes, the pipework and front window surrounds will all be in the body colour.

Accucraft G1 coaches

The current estimate is early 2022 due entirely to the cost of shipping from China, currently there is a 700% premium on normal rates, this will hopefulll ease in December once the Xmas rush is over.

EU exports

Due to the excessive paperwork involved, as of the first of July we are unable to export any items to the EU with a pre-tax invoice value under 151.00. We apologise for this but as small Company it is not economically viable for us to enter into the EU system. Orders above this value will be treated as all other exports and will be UK VAT free, although you may still have to pay VAT in your resident Country. The items we sell are tariff free as they are sold under commodity code 950300300 Scale Model Trains, this appears on all out invoices.
