"The Great Lockdown", Update 12th October 2020
"Business Open"
But Backorders Have Reached October & November
Sales Limit Thresholds
So “Sorry Folks” No more mail order sales
are possible until December
Around 80% of Kits In 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 has reopened their factory with reduced workforce
& has supplied completed orders.
But their factory lead-time is around 12 weeks. So I still have some
“stock issues” as kits go out of stock before I have etchings to replace them.
If you wish, please telephone, 01544 318263
or email: james.mcgeown2@btinternet.com to check stock or reserve a kit.
Please email to reserve for December production,
no obligation, no money required.
Look after yourself, find the positives, Railway modelling is wonderful!
Best Regards, Jim McGeown & Family.
