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...... |
