Our policy
We differ from other manufactures in a number of key areas.
We are not trying to be all things to all men, we focus on one project at a time and give that 100% of our effort. Many eyebrows were raised when 4 RTR 9F's were announced in 2015, ours was the first one to arrive, we are still waiting for 2 of the others, and ours has been so successful we have had to produce a 2nd batch of 5 variations, All now sold out.
We fund our own projects, the deposits we ask for is to ensure that we have a viable project, there is serious money involved before we even see a prototype and once we commit to production, of a specific name or number for you, we need your commitment as well.
We only ask for a deposit once we have placed an order on the factory for production, this initial deposit is fully refundable until actual production commences.
Our models are shipped into the UK DC only, we feel it is unfair to ask modellers who do not use DCC to pay for this function and it also allows us to tune the DCC to individual locomotives. We fit DCC & smoke here in the UK as well as carrying out our weathering service
Your privacy
We only ask for addresses, telephone numbers and email addresses to aid us in delivery and communication on orders placed.
We do not share them with other parties or use them for any form of marketing or analysis. You may request us to remove your details at anytime.
