DJ Dangerous Posted October 20, 2023 Share Posted October 20, 2023 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: Des Sulivan's forum profile: https://irishrailwaymodeller.com/profile/41-weshty/ Member number 41, that's old school!

Mayner Posted February 23 Share Posted February 23 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. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Horsetan Posted May 1 Share Posted May 1 (edited) 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.
