Back from Holidays - very nice in WA.  Just getting back into the swing of things and planning for the Show in Launceston in Mid October (will be out last show).  Look out for some specials over the next few weeks as I attempt to reduce stock in line with the 31st December closure.............

I will NOT be available for a few days later this month (between 17th and 31st August).  I may be able to respond to a few email but no orders will get processed in this timeframe.  So please be patient as I will be back in September.................
When I get back in September I need to place some final orders with a few of our suppliers - These are manufacturers of great details and stuff: Banta Model Works, Blackstone Models and Nothwest Shortline.... So if you fancy something from these manufacturers - just let me know and I can include in my orders (use the links to go and have a look at their web sites) and I might even have some stuff in stock....

Well the time has finally come.  We have decided to close The Railcar after 23 busy years.  We have attended many shows, met many people and enjoyed the whole experience but, it is finally time to move on to other things (like retirement and my own On3 railroad).

We will do this over the next 9 months or so.  The Railcar will continue to trade as normal for the next few months - so we will still order items in as required for customers (here's your chance to get those things you really need) and then we will wind down over the following months until the end of the year.  We will be attending one more Show - the Launceston Model Railway Show in October.....But don't worry - plenty of time to go and we still want your business.....so get those orders in !!!!!!!!!
If you need some inspiration, or just want to see some exquisite modeling - check out the link to the Australian Narrow Gauge Convention that was recently held in Victoria - www.modvid.com.au/html/body_aussie_ng_convention_2017.html . Just beautiful stuff
Looks like the 2017 On30 Annuals are finally on the way - so should be here in the next 10 or so days.  I have limited numbers - some are already taken, but let me know if you want one and I'll put your name on it.................

Just a quick update to let you know we will be away at the Australian Narrow Gauge Convention this Easter Weekend.  Hope to see some of you there and for those not attending we may be a bit slow in responding to emails etc, as we will be gone for about a week.  But rest assured, I will get back to you on our return......
