Whilst the renewals were done voluntarily, I would understand a list in SMT. What I have a problem with is paying Warners, who seem unable to respond to an email.

16mm membership query

Hi is there an email address to confirm membership of the 16 mm association from Warners? Thier website isn't working in the contact section.

Thanks

In a word - no.

I assume the plastic acts as a bearing? Is lubrication required? Sorry to ask a lot of questions, but I'm used to brass and metal!

I'm curious, how would the contents have been removed on the real railway?

Christmas train enquiry

I saw this online tonight, I thought for £30 I could make something out of the various chassis, and I could certainly use the track if I decide to exhibit at the North Down Model Show. My only problem is, I'm not sure of the gauge but it looks 45mm. I don't suppose anybody on here has got one? Thank...

The web shop has now re-opened to sell the remaining stock... The home page contains the line "It is possible that the Brandbright range be continued by a successor and if so news of this will be posted here" - a glimmer of hope??? I don't think that was there before, maybe there's a deal...
