    • Rails of Sheffield are going to be stocking the Mini GT 1:64 vehicle range. These are mainly cars, usually sportier models, and are 1:64 so are too large to sit alongside Oxford Diecast. However, standing alongside buses, trucks and trains, they look grand, and may end up being the only option for certain vehicles: https://railsofsheffield.com/collections/minigt?_pos=1&_psq=minigt&_psid=e7ee7bab9&_ss=e      
    • Excellent news! i have a stack of 28mm axles here waiting for them.
    • Allen did have quite a stock of Brass, I helped him move it into shows on a few occasions (And that was just selected ranges specific to specialist shows). I am still trying to get Allen to give me a price. Last month's check on progress was met with a reply that he has no etches left (I knew that and the email sent included that it was to buy the rights and was not asking for kits) I have just phoned again and he said he was having problems, I can understand that. It just does not seem that he is actively seeking help to do anything with this. Neville is still waiting for sheet numbers for things he paid for over a year ago. A N Other is still trying to sort out between G & H and Allen to get sheet numbers for just & kits, Allen sent different list to the 2 relevant parties. I really want this myself but the longer it goes on the less likely I actually see a fruitful outcome.
    • Its an Electrotren GV2004 (ES0036) chassis mine is sold as a Taff Vale0-6-0t but it is sold under a number of different disguises! The body is a 3d print sold by DoubleM Models and is rather fine,as in very good! The only downside is the chassis has rather coarse ,as in deep, flanges ok on code 100 but I have not tried the loco through code 75 point work yet.   Hope this helps.
    • Hi Angus, You may be right - could well be my misinterpretation. With other ranges they have acquired, Blacksmith do seem to have got the tools and have re-introduced kits previously unavailable, so I had assumed it was the same position here. One wonders about the size of Allen's stock of unsold etches! Considering the breadth of the range, I had assumed that most were made in very small batches or to order. If he had several of every etch in every scale in stock, then he must have had a ton of brass in his shed. Perhaps he did?
