Postage Increases - but not neccessarily by much.
I have taken the decision to change my rates for postage. As you are probably aware Royal Mail has substantially changed their prices and this affects the rates for my posting of wagons. So as from the time you read this, I will be charging a flat-rate fee for postage and packing. For those ordering just one wagon, this will seem a bit harsh at first - but bear in mind that 95% of the packets I send out will cost £2.20 as from April 30. Now it won't matter how much you order - the cost will be £3 for postage and packing. Up to now anyone who ordered 4 or more wagons was charged 70p per wagon - so in these instances postage will not have risen by hardly anything. The same will apply for overseas customers.
2012 Plans finalised O-gauge enters the scene - as does a new Model Railway Show - Llangennech June 9th
"Alexander Bros of Hungerford" arrives (21 April) and (just like the buses) so does "Drake & Mount of Bracknell" in N
The 00 and N wagons for the Loddon Vale show on May 12th arrived and a lot were sold on the day - however some remain including one weathered 00 wagon and two of the weathered N-gauge ones.
I will be releasing wagons primarily for shows that I will be attending. As a result some earlier planned wagon releases have been put back - and possibly dropped permanently. See my shop pages for "Planned Releases" for current definite plans!
O-gauge wagons will be appearing for the August show in Aberaeron (*) and one later in November for Christmas. Also I have finally decided that I will NOT be doing any wagon for either the Diamond Jubilee or the Olympics.
* If you wish to put your name down for the O-gauge "Hubbard" wagon - do email me as several have already been 'signed up for', and I'm only having 25 done!
Loddon Vale Gets Their Own Page
I have added a page that details all the wagons I have produced for my good friends at the Loddon Vale Club near Reading. Don't worry, Banbury, you're next on my jobs to do!

Important Announcement - Use of Credit and Debit Cards
NOW IN USE
I am now able to take payments via a credit-card device so you can now pay by credit or debit cards. The use of cheques is being fazed out and so few people go to shows armed with their cheque books, that I was losing sales because of it. Credit and Debit card use is also cheaper than use of Paypal - and though I have no intention of stopping the use of that, I will be encouraging you to go down the road of payment via credit/debit cards. As I would be saving a bit by doing so, I can be passing that saving on.

POSTAGE CHARGES and HOW DO I USE THE SHOP TO ORDER
See the "Questions" page for help on postal charges, especially if you are wanting more than three wagons.

y speciality is the production of limited-edition model railway wagons in both 00 and N scales. The wagons are manufactured by Dapol Ltd, of Chirk, Shropshire. Wagons are normally associated with shows that I am attending; my local preserved railways; or special events including Christmas
I have now added the Christmas wagons to my shop pages. This year the 00 wagon comes from Birmingham, whilst the N-gauge one comes from West Wales
