Nucro and Acro

[5050]

Since the 'Search' function doesn't come up with any (sensible) results for these two I'm showing something that was in a box of wagon parts (and a K's Shock Wagon 'kit') that are mainly Kenline.  For the bargain price of 1/2d (5.5np) these could have been yours BITD.  But, when was 'the day'?  I reckon they must be 60 years old perhaps?

 

 

Any other Nucro or Acro items out there?

[Il Grifone]

Common products in the fifties and closely related if not the same company. Nucro had a range of rolling stock wheels and bogies and there were wagon kits too. I have long since thrown out any catalogues I might have had so can't be more precise. Acro had a 45xx kit renowned for having battleship rivets....

 

There is another thread somewhere here on these products.

They may be elderly but they can scrub up nicely. I was given two of these, one in a NuCro box and one in an Acro but otherwise identical.

If there is another thread then why doesn't 'Search' find it?  I'm sure there has been a mention in my old magazine threads but no links to 'Search'. I think the first iteration was Acro and then Nucro, very nice products for their time.

At the top of this page is a Search Box.  Enter "Nucro" or "Acro" .  Click on "This Topic" and a drop-down list appears.  Click on "Forum Search" and a long list of topics concerning Nucro or whatever appears including your copies of magazine adverts for Nucro.

I don't get 'Forum Search' on my drop-down menu, only 'Forum Index'.  The only reference I get to Nucro & Acro is this thread.

[jwealleans]

I have that 'Forum Index' button, but just entering 'Nucro Acro' in the search box brings back 8 threads.

Not for me it don't

I was mistaken saying "Forum Search".  It is (as Jonathan said above) "Forum Index".  Click on this and the button is highlighted.   Enter "Nucro Acro" and then the search engine will give you 8 previous entries for Nucro and Acro.  Enter "Nucro" on its own and you will get 41 previous entries.

 

Your copies of advertisements for Nucro are included in the entry for "Acro / Nucro / Teaness".  (Teaness was T & S).

 

If you still can't get the RMweb search engine to work, simply enter "Teaness models" (in inverted commas) into Google and that will bring up your adverts.
