Sometimes customers send us ideas for new products. Occasionally these are not practical ideas, or things that we don’t think would sell in sufficient numbers to make it worthwhile, so they quietly get forgotten. More often they are good ideas, but we have to fit them into our schedule and they disappear into the pending pile for an age until we can get around to them. Today we have one of the latter, but one that (for us) hasn’t taken too long to make it into production.<\/p>\n

The really annoying thing is that we’ve lost the original email, so we can’t credit the bright spark who suggested these !<\/p>\n

What we have are a set of empty platforms for our Agri Colony 6mm scenery, matching the platforms that some of the buildings already have. They can be used to carry other Agri Colony buildings that don’t have platforms or extend the ones that do. Alternatively they can be used as VTOL landing pads, cargo platforms or monorail platforms. The pack has five platforms of different sizes in various configurations (have a look at the product page<\/a> for full details). <\/p>\n

In addition we have a pack of small connecting ‘bridges’ that can be used to bridge the gap between larger platforms, or extensions such as between and around our Agri Colony shops or industrial units.<\/p>\n
