mikeharvey22 Posted February 21, 2018 Share Posted February 21, 2018 This was floating around Facebook yesterday https://beta.companieshouse.gov.uk/company/04552733 Ian G I would not place a great deal of reliance on the information on the Companies House database. I have been trying to get them to correct a serious transcription error for 6 months without success. Unless information has been submitted electronically it seems that there an unwillingness to work on an issue. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium Mike Bellamy Posted February 22, 2018 RMweb Premium Share Posted February 22, 2018 https://www.thegazette.co.uk/notice/2975031 . Thank you Stephen. I had just seen this on the Gauge O Guild Forum and it puts an end to the speculation. Note that this relates to Just Like the Real Thing Ltd with Pete Waterman as a director (Company number 04552733). https://beta.companieshouse.gov.uk/company/04552733 There is a separate dormant company called JLTRT Ltd registered number SC404436 which has Laurence and Susan Lynch as directors. Pete Waterman resigned as a director of that company in March 2015. https://beta.companieshouse.gov.uk/company/SC404436 It's interesting reading of the number of companies where Mr Waterman is (or has been) a director. Sad times for all involved. . Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeffP Posted February 22, 2018 Share Posted February 22, 2018 So, can someone put this into simple terms? JLTRT are no more, gone into liquidation? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
admiles Posted February 22, 2018 Author Share Posted February 22, 2018 So, can someone put this into simple terms? JLTRT are no more, gone into liquidation? The company known as Just Like the Real Thing as of 1st March will be no more. Further than that, who knows? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Phil Parker Posted February 22, 2018 Administrators Share Posted February 22, 2018 From Facebook at 16:00 As sole director and shareholder of Just like the real thing, last week I made the agonising decision to close down the company and appoint a receiver to liquidate it. I was no long prepared to fund its annual losses and could not see any way of making it profitable.My passion for model railways remains undimmed. I will concentrate on my Leamington Spa layout. In the coming months,I expect to announce new plans, so watch this space. I believe there is a small niche for a high quality designer and manufacture,and that will likely be my focus. The best models for discerning modellers and collectors. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest teacupteacup Posted February 22, 2018 Share Posted February 22, 2018 It's not that big, except perhaps for the diesel addicts, where the market was dominated by JLTRT or Heljan. Jim Its a huge hole in the 7mm world, not everyone is capable of building metal kits. JTLRT kits made 7mm at lot more accessible not just to diesel modellers.

Phill Dyson (onslaught832) Posted February 22, 2018 Share Posted February 22, 2018 I really hope the diesel parts will still be available through another owner/source ....i was hoping to get some class 25 class 52 parts Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
deltic17 Posted February 22, 2018 Share Posted February 22, 2018 I really hope the diesel parts will still be available through another owner/source ....i was hoping to get some class 25 class 52 parts Yes I fully agree. Is there no stock that needs selling off? - we maybe need to watch out for that. There is quite a fair few things many of you could probably do with buying - for me this has happened so quickly.

johnarcher Posted February 22, 2018 Share Posted February 22, 2018 I don't really know, but maybe it will be not only a 7mm hole. With David Geen retiring aren't the rights in the Mitchell 4mm kits reverting to PW too? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LaScala Posted February 23, 2018 Share Posted February 23, 2018 Having re-entered the world of modeling about 10 years ago I managed about 10 kits by others. These varied from pretty good (Andrews/Gladiator) to OK (Springside/Agenoria/Warren Shephard) to almost unbuildable (Gateneal). Then I cracked and went to JLTRT. What a step up! Everything there, great fit and actual instructions. A huge loss and I guess I won't be getting the long promised Dukedog. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Western Star Posted February 23, 2018 Share Posted February 23, 2018 ... I had great plans for a JLTRT 47/7.... Yes, us too, Peter ordered kits for 47705 and 47706 when the model was announced, the cabs and special to type fittings have not been produced to date.

RMweb Premium pylonman Posted February 23, 2018 RMweb Premium Share Posted February 23, 2018 Not good news. I hope Laurie recovers soon. I've had a Class 47/8 on order, paid for, since last June, and been assured that it will be on it's way to me soon......... form Last June. It looks as though I'm £450 out of pocket !
