Something for the 'N' and 'G' scalers.
We are offering 30%

any of these items. We still have quite a bit in stock - so here's a
chance to get a bargain and fill up your spares and detail boxes.
So take a look and see what you can find;

Just an update so you know what we are doing. We are definitely closing the The Railcar. However, with the sale not going through, it will take a bit longer than we planned (we need to sell everything) so I expect we will still be around for at least 5-6 months at the moment. So please get in and take that stock from us and look for more sales and specials as we work through the stock. | |||
|
We are rapidly selling out of the Micro Engineering and Mt Albert Scale Lumber products. So to make it a little easier, I have indicated on those pages, exactly how many of each item we still have in stock (not a lot in some cases). I will attempt to keep this up to date as stock gets sold.... You can see these at Micro Engineering & Mt Albert Scale Lumber | |||

We have counted and checked the Grandt Line stock, AND updated the web pages. So, everything should be correct on the Grandt Line web pages (as of 2 pm today), so get in now if you want any of those listed items | |||

Time to move some of those kits we have accumulated in recent years. Take a look at the Specials Page to see some great markdowns on buildings and other kits in stock. Limited stock so they may go quickly.....check and see if something suits you here - SPECIALS | |||

I may be able to place a few orders with our overseas suppliers (where we are out of stock) but this will be limited and only where worthwhile quantities are put together. | |||

By now, you may have heard that Grandt Line is closing down in the middle of the year - What a huge blow to the industry. Consequently I am about to place a final order with them - so if you need anything that we do not have in stock - just let me know ASAP as I'll place that order very shortly | |||

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 !!!!!!!!! |

|
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...... | |||
