Hi Adrian. You're a mind-reader as we're just in the process of making it available to the world. It'll be uploaded to the World of Railways Plus magazine archive and we'll also include it on Friday's World of Railways email newsletter.

Hi Rory. Apologies about this. We're on the case. Apparently it's affecting websites all around the globe. We're on the case to get it sorted ASAP!

No problem. I appreciate your patience!

🥳 finally, it appears to be working. We've now had a couple of overseas orders complete successfully! Thanks for your patience!

Damn it! Thanks for letting me know. Don't worry, we'll get it sorted. I've reserved you the products you wanted so don't worry about missing out. I'll update as soon as I know more.

@GeoffBird @JShow Right. We've found a bug in the system which we've reported to our developers. But, there's a work around. When you enter your shipping address it 'should' show the shipping amount. The blue 'tick' circle on the left of the shipping amount should be blue, indicating it's been selected. This is the bug... despite showing it's selected, it actually isn't. If you click on this circle it should now select this option and therefore work correctly. Fingers and toes crossed this now works! Please let me know if it works for you. In the meantime, we're working to get this sorted. I can't apologise enough for this!

@GeoffBird @JShow Keeley's off now but I'll take a look and report back.

Apologies, we got the rates added this afternoon for testing but just ran out of time to make them live safe in the knowledge that everything was working perfectly. Sorry. Don't worry though, we still have plenty of stock so you won't miss out. I'll ask the team to put a message on here on Monday.

Hi, We should 🤞 have the overseas rates live later today. As soon as it's sorted, I'll post an update here.

You really have an amazing boss😉

Warners Group Publications is delighted to announce that it has taken over the management of the Bristol Model Railway Exhibition, which will take place in Spring. Already managing two of the country’s biggest model railway exhibitions – The Festival of Railway Modelling in Doncaster and The London Festival of Railway Modelling in Alexandra Palace – Warners sees a show in the West of England as a great addition to its events portfolio. It will continue to work in close partnership with the Association of Model Railway Clubs Wales & West of England to ensure the show remains one the country’s best. Steve Cole, publisher of Warners Group Publications’ railway portfolio, had this to say about the show: “Since we started talking to the Association, it was apparent that we both wanted the same thing…to make the Bristol Model Railway Exhibition even bigger and better than before! We plan to work closely to attract the best model railways, leading traders and further improve what is already an excellent exhibition.” Mike Tucker, treasurer of the Association of Model Railway Clubs Wales & West of England, commented: “The Bristol Model Railway Exhibition has been the premier model railway show in the West Country since 1968. To help us make the show bigger and better we felt that the time had come to enter into a partnership with someone who shared these goals. Warners Group Publications shares our passion to achieve these aims and we are very happy to team to ensure that together we bring the best layouts from around the country alongside leading traders to the show, thus ensuring the exhibition continues to expand and improve for the future.” The 2022 exhibition is confirmed for April 29, 30 and May 1 and will take place at Thornbury Leisure Centre, Alveston Hill, Thornbury, Bristol, BS35 3JB. Tickets and further information will be available soon via the Association’s website (www.bristolmodrailex.uk) and www.world-of-railways.co.uk. Both websites will be updated to include the list of the 30 plus attending layouts, traders and demonstrations. Warners Group Publications is the publisher of market-leading magazines - BRM (British Railway Modelling), Traction, Garden Rail, Narrow Gauge World and Engineering in Miniature – plus two of the country’s biggest websites: www.world-of-railways.co.uk and www.RMweb.co.uk. Pictured are three layouts confirmed for the exhibition: Herculaneum Dock, Launceston Steam Railway and Rumbling Bridge.
