Connoisseur Models produce a range of model railway locomotive, wagon and carriage construction kits. Providing etched sheet metal and cast parts for the craftsman model maker to assemble into a finished model at their home workbench using a reasonably comprehensive toolkit of hand tools and soldered assembly. These products are commonly referred to as etched brass kits.
The models are of British Prototypes designed for 0 gauge at a scale of 7mm to the foot, 1/43 scale.
Business as Usual Today, Postal Service Good
90% of Kits Available From Stock, Slater’s Wheels Stocked
I have good stocks of motor & gears to accompany loco kits.
Slater’s have kindly allowed me generous stocks of wheels to enable,
everything in the box, mail order service during the lockdown.
Wheels are priced: Wagon & Carriage - £9.50pair, Loco Driving - £22axle,
Bogie/Tender - £16axle, Plunger Pickups - £14.00six.
My etching supplier closed their factory late March but has now reopened with greatly reduced capacity. I picked up my first work for two months (wagon kits only) on 19/5/20. So I should slowly be able to produce replacements for “Sold Out Kits”.
I produce all white metal castings in house so no problems with bogies etc
or restocking once etchings become available.
