Hello,
Before we start, we would like to remind you that all images in this newsletter are links that you can click on, sending you to pages with more details on each item including full description and sometimes videos. If anything is still unclear, please do contact us.
You may remember we announced just before Christmas we had commissioned Dapol to make some exclusive Isle of Wight wagons for us. They are in OO gauge and we have requested only about 200 of each (the exact number varies slightly due to production requirements).
The wagons are based on photographs taken in the early twentieth century so are suitable to be pulled by an Isle of Wight Terrier or an O2.
We still have some left at the moment but they are generating lots of interest so we recommend you act quickly to avoid disappointment.
Here are the drawings:
And now the real thing:
If you model the Isle of Wight, you could probably do with a few buses from iconic company Southern Vectis. BT Models have released OO gauge models in two new liveries and each of them in two different destinations. They are double deckers Bristol Lodekka and single deckers Bristol MW6G. As they are OO gauge, they are the same size as EFE buses and suitable to go on a shelf or inside a cabinet: large enough to be enjoyed but small enough not to take the whole space.
If you love buses and coaches, you probably also want to consider the great books from Terry Jones. After writing books on the history of Moss Motor Tours of Sandown and on Shotters of Brightstone. He has just finished his latest book on Seaview Services, once again full of colour pictures as well as history of the company.
These books are the perfect present to go with the buses above or even on their own!
Finally, just a quick reminder gift vouchers are available all year round.

We place weekly orders with most suppliers.
