ACCURASCALE
Just a Note re The Accurascale Class 55 Deltics, although we are an Accurascale Stockist sadly we were not able to sell the Deltics as its Accurascale’s first Model Locomotive so as far as i know they are all being sold in house so to speak. Apart from a few select traders such as Rails it seems. No doubt due to their popularity the situation will change when the next batch are produced next year, so if you want one, its direct to Accurascale i am afraid. just like i have had to do! Web based Only not easy to get hold of on the phone for any of our None PC happy customers. Sorry!

Pre-Owned News.
Since the start of the Ukraine conflict and the unfortunate rise in costs for every household for commodities such as food, fuel heating etc it seems, there is no doubt customers are now very conscious about what they can spend now and the sales of big ticket New stock has dropped off quite sharply .
The second hand market still seems very buoyant and we have stocks of Used items here to suit every budget should you want anything.
The cheaper end of the stock we hold sells via the shop as the time it takes to list every item on our website its just not possible or viable for us to list say a £4 wagon , but its just a phone call away if you want and cheap locos wagons, buildings, used track etc which we can post out Monday-Friday. Or even better pop in and have a rummage!
Pre-owned collections continue to arrive on a regular basis sometimes a few times a week and the sheer volume takes some keeping on top of, some of them go in the shop, some items go straight on here to try and keep a good balance for customers visiting the shop.
Just this week we have had in the following
Hornby LNER Mallard, Railroad, and 60022 BR Green Mallard tender drive.
