We’re still very busy with orders currently – which is great, keep ’em coming! We’re turning them round as fast as possible, usually within 2-3 days, but then you’re in the hands of the various postal services. UK post is generally fine, some first class mail can take longer than usual (2-3 days) but the majority is still getting there next day. Overseas is a different matter. Mail to Europe seems to be about 7-14 days, so slightly longer than usual, but not excessively so. It’s a different matter further afield, however; to the USA, Canada, Australia and New Zealand, which are our most common destinations, 4-5 weeks is the norm, and 8-9 weeks is not uncommon (a customer has just told us of one package that arrived yesterday having been posted on March 30th). Everything is arriving, just late – we haven’t yet had to claim for a missing package this year. Patience is the key…<\/p>\n

Next we have some show news; not unexpectedly, our next two planned shows, Joy of Six<\/a> and Hereward<\/a>, have been cancelled for this year. Neither are being rescheduled, so the next editions of both will be in 2021. <\/p>\n

Onto some new releases. Because of workload I’ve been adjusting our release schedule a bit – I have a big batch of 15mm models (the last of our Salute lineup) that I’d like to get out, but I don’t seem to be able to find any time to build up stock in advance of releasing them. So instead we have some more 2mm items in the Small Scale Scenery range, stock of which is rather easier to manage! <\/p>\n

First up is the largest piece, a railway turntable with a six-bay engine shed. It all comes cast as a single resin piece with the exception of the rotating track in the centre, which is metal.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Sticking on the track, we have these tiny railway cranes which come four to a pack.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

And finally, more cranes but this time of the dockyard variety. Again there are four in a pack, two each of two types. I’ve made a mini layout with one of our resin jetty pieces and some dock warehouses.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

SSS-8148<\/a> – Dockside Cranes (x4) – \u00a32.00
\nSSS-8149<\/a> – Railway Cranes (x4) – \u00a31.50
\nSSS-8158<\/a> – Railway Turntable – \u00a33.00<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
