SSM (Studio Scale Models) Website, Contact and Various Threads

[DJ Dangerous]

Hi all.

 

The forum's a real mess for SSM (Studio Scale Models) stuff, and since @Weshty hasn't been too active these past three years, here are some of (probably not all, that's not my job!) the SSM threads scattered throughout the forum:

https://irishrailwaymodeller.com/topic/13107-des-sullivan-on-the-forum

As of today, that's the most recent info / speculation, and it would appear that the wind-down that started in or around 2020 is reaching it's end...

If anybody has anything to add, please do so - personally, I'd love a reply from Des, as I don't think he's responded to any of my mails since January.

So the same email as in the OP?

I'll try it again so.

[Georgeconna]

I've passed on this link to him so Des might pop in with a bit of luck.

[Weshty]

Hi all,   I'll still active with the models, send any queries to dezsullivan@gmail.com.   The info@ssm no longer works.

 

All the best, Des

Super job!

Is the Studio Scale Models website still running?

I have tried but just get error code.

Works for me just now…http://www.studio-scale-models.com/Orders.shtml

[Mayner]

Probably best to e-mail Des at dezsullivan@gmail.com if you are unable to connect to the SSM site.

A HTTP 404 error code has come up for several weeks.

My anti-virus would not let me connect 'expired certificate" when I tried Galteemore's link and the error code appeared when I overrode the antivirus.

But managed to connect when I ran a separate search! 

Like the old Provincial Wagons Web Site its probably not worthwhile for SSM to renew their cert/update the site because of high hosting costs and low level of demand for kits.

[Georgeconna]

You can get him on Linked in too.

Currently waiting for next batch of J15 kits....

[Horsetan]

New SSM J15 etches have arrived, and a new batch of kits are apparently now being packed...

Goes without saying, if you want one, now's the time to get your order in, as it took five months for the etch company to get round to producing the relevant etches.
