Sports cars and Red Arrows plastic kits - Turntable and fencing - Latest modellings tipsHello,

 

Please note there will be no newsletter next week but we will be back the week after!

Don't forget to read our latest modelling tips located at the bottom to the bottom of the newsletter.

We have just added to our website several dozens of plastic kits that are heavily discounted. They are mostly super cars and racing cars (and a very nice 1/32 Red Arrows Hawk) and most of them are available at half price. You can see the full list by clicking here or here is a small selection:

 

 

 

Peco are renowned for their flexible track system, but they do so much more, so we thought we would give you a little look into a few of the large number of other things they do.

Every layout should have a turntable and this one from Peco will do the job nicely as it can accommodate most engines. It is manually operated but our friends at Expotools have the solution with this motorising kit. A definite must for outside the engine sheds or even at the end of the line.

 

 

With line side accessories, these fences are great you can also add gates and styles to break up the scene. The fencing comes in 1m long pack.

 

If you need level crossings, they have them in gate form and barrier form and they are available in various shapes so you can not only have them on straights but also on various curves.

 

 

 

 

 

 Mike keeps on adding modelling tips to our website. Here are the latest ones:

• What are the common railway scales?
• What colour should I use to paint brick walls?
• How do I remove paint from a model?
• Is a resin kit better than a plastic kit?
• What are three link couplings?
  

 

You can also access all the articles by visiting this page or simply click the link called "tips" on our website.

Send us an email or give us a call to check availability or to reserve anything, whatever scale you model in. As usual, if we do not have in stock what you are looking for, we will order it for you and you will get it fast (usually within a week if the manufacturer has it in stock). We place weekly orders with most suppliers.

Remember, you can park for free for one hour on the High Street. So no excuse not to come and visit us!

Upstairs Downstairs is open Tuesday to Saturday 10am till 4.30pm and Sunday 1pm till 4pm. We are closed only on Monday.

Nikki, Carole, Mike and Max
