Re: North Pilton Works

Ok my order was placed on the 3rd and received on the 10th. I think that the company is running better than their previous reputation suggests. The quality of their products is superb.

Re: North Pilton Works

I've just built 3 x 5 plank wagons which I got from a ebay seller who hadn't built them. I was impressed by the quality and decided to get more kits having forgotten the previous slowness of service. Has anyone had some recent good service from North Pilton Works?

Water top up bottle

Hi Gang, I need a pumped water top up bottle that will fit an accucraft top up valve. I would use dream steam but they don't show it on their on line listings. Where can I get one from?
