So it's finally that time - we had hoped to sell the business, but that has not worked out. So we are winding down and selling off the stock - It has been good fun and we have met a lot of people but it's time....... | |||
|
Good News.... The 2018 On30 Annuals are available - I have just ordered 15 copies - so if you want one, just let me know and I'll put your name on it and let you know when they arrive | |||
|
To start off the SALES - we are offering (for in-stock items only) - 20% discount across all items on orders over $100.00 (except if already marked as 'Specials') | |||

We have some very interesting lines which
are not readily available here in Aust so here's a chance to pick some
things up before they go. Check out these lines to get you
started: Clover House Builders in Scale Central Valley Model Works Grandt Line Model Tech Studios Rusty Stumps Scale Models Vector Cut |
|||
|
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 | |||
|
We have conducted a stocktake and got the Web Site up to date - so what you see on our web pages is pretty accurate as of today - so get in NOW if you want some of these things before they go..... | |||

|
As you are probably aware we are closing The Railcar- (unless we can find a buyer) Will just extend a month or two to tidy things up - so at this stage we will still be operating up to Feb/March 2018 - but we are definitely taking retirement.......... | |||

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...... | |||
