BromsMods Posted March 16, 2013 Share Posted March 16, 2013 We are intending to close the commercial part of the business on Friday 22nd March. (One reason is that I want to avoid getting involved in the new postal charges which come into effect next month.) Any orders received but not paid for by then will be cancelled. I intend retaining the rest of the website, at least for the forseeable future, as nobody else has come forward offering to take on board the maintenance of information across model railway and diecast ranges. I decided to keep it going as I have received numerous requests to do so, including one from an agent of one of the manufacturers!! I also intend expanding the information on DCC both to update what is there and to put right some of the misinformation contained within some of the printed material currently available, including the latest offering from Railway Modeller! I would also like to expand the range of DCC installation guides - I still have a number of my own locos awaiting attention but cannot possibly cover the complete and extensive range of UK models available. If anyone has their own set of instructions and accompanying photographs which they would like to contribute I would like to hear from you. I'm afraid there is no payment, though - it is already costing me to keep the website going......!! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gruffalo Posted March 16, 2013 Share Posted March 16, 2013 Thank you for this John, service above and beyond???

Guest jim s-w Posted March 17, 2013 Share Posted March 17, 2013 Hi John Would you like those of us who have links for you on our websites to take them down? Cheers Jim Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BromsMods Posted March 18, 2013 Author Share Posted March 18, 2013 Hi Jim Only if you have linked to the store part of the site, otherwise users might find the resources elsewhere on our site quite useful. I'm hoping to still get some income from visits to the site and users clicking on links to other sites! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BromsMods Posted March 22, 2013 Author Share Posted March 22, 2013 Well, retail part of the site has now closed. I would like to thank all of our customers for their purchases over the years and wish everyone a happy and prosperous future. I will be making some changes to the rest of the site over the next few weeks, so apologies in advance if you can't easily find what you are looking for or links aren't set up correctly - I will get there eventually!!

DJM Dave Posted March 22, 2013 Share Posted March 22, 2013 Hi John, Have a great retirement. We've never met but rest assured in conversations I have had with modellers, you did a great job. I'd call you a credit to the industry. Cheers Dave Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BromsMods Posted April 14, 2013 Author Share Posted April 14, 2013 One thing I do have a lot of left is LEDs - especially packs of 6 x 2mm or 1.8mm Golden white or 3mm Daylight White with 1K resistors - £4.50 per pack including postage.
