Hiya Pauly - you can also go through eBay :D

He trades as dogs_dusty and sells 16mm association clothing and his concrete buildings listed as "Buy It Now"s. Search under sm32 or 16mm on Trains/Railway Models ;)

They dropped the 16mm clothing quite a while ago.

Your not the only one who has has trouble, somebody on the 16mm e-group posted a message about trying to get through to them, their answerphone box is full and emails arn't being replied to. Sounds a bit dodgy to me, I'm not sure if other traders fill their answerphones when they go on holiday

Yes - these appear occasionally, one item at a time.
My direct order a year or so ago was cancelled with the explanation they were no longer stockists.
The 16mm Assoc now advertises Wellbeck in SMT. Min order 12 items!

Actually, there's usually (as now) quite afew - limited size and colour choice though. I believe they're "old stock" ;)

I'v heard whispers that tuxcraft are selling their moulds off. I know for a fact that the church mould split last year

Had a prompt email reply from Richard last night regarding an item through the ebay email system so obviously someone is about.

I went to the horses mouth

Hi Bryan

Thanks for this I will take a look at the forum and watch. We have just been away on holiday last week with it being school holidays.

Time has been a bit hard over winter with my dad being quiet ill and the harsh weather (we can not cast in the freezing cold, without expensive heaters adding to the final price of the article) to make ends meet we have both (me and Nina) had to take jobs in the week to supplement our income.

But we are certainly still trading and we will ride it out. I will look at why the answer-phone say full though and can only appologise.

Dusty dogs on eBay is my father in law who has been kind enough to help us by selling products on eBay.

We are certainly not selling our moulds as someone suggests in the forum and moulds get ripped all the time so we constantly have to replace them. We do have in fact a new radius 5 via duct in design at the moment but with dad being very ill it's not quiet ready yet.

Many thanks for this. Please feel free to pass this on if you wish.

Many thanks

Chris

Nice one CC, a good bit of informative forumism there!

It only took an email with a link to the forum to get the answer. :oops:

They stopped attending shows a while back as the cost to travel was too great. I was told they now only make to order.
