It's the last couple of weeks of the Transport Models Preston closing down sale 25% off when you spend £20 https://www.kitlady.co.uk/

Here is the full announcement from the website :- THE FUTURE OF TRANSPORT MODELS LIMITED The directors have had a meeting this morning regarding the future of Transport Models Limited. Not only have we had problems relative to Corvid 19 (Coronavirus), one of the directors has drastic family problems Also Liz, one of the directors, who was officially due to retire at the end of June, due to age restrictions, cannot return to work. Taking all the above into account, a decision has been reached that it is impossible for the retail business to reopen. Transport Models Limited therefore ceases to be trading as a limited company as and from 30 June 2020. It will take a few months to arrange for the sale of all the stock, fixtures and fittings, and for the Unit in Oyston Mill to be ready for new ownership. As and from 1 June 2020 any preorders can be collected in person, by prior appointment only, from the Unit. This has to be in line with Government guidelines. Any queries at all relative to the above, I will answer in person. Elizabeth@transportmodels.co.uk. Both Mark and I have tried but everything is against a favourable decision. If anyone would like to discuss continuing Transport Models as a going concern, please email Elizabeth on the email above.

The Transport Models 25% off sale ends on Friday. Still plenty of bargains to be had Bachmann Ransomes & Rapier Crane GWR or SR for less than £195 inc P&P

An official statement has been added to the blog by Liz as follows... CONFIRMATION STATEMENT RE CURRENT TRADING SITUATION A number of people are under the impression that the shop will be closing permanently, as we are ending the Retirement Sale on the 24 April. This sale giving a 25% discount was going to continue until my retirement on the 30 June. However I have been pushed into retirement earlier than planned, hence the ending of the discount sooner. We will, however, still be giving a 10% discount to applicable items after the 24 April and Transport Models will continue to trade, albeit with on-line sales only, until such time as restrictions are lifted and we will reopen the shop. This is the current situation as it stands. Transport Models is a very healthy company as far as finances are concerned and we can, luckily for us, carry on trading successfully. Orders that were given to us by customers, some of which have been delivered to us, will be held in our stock room. No person will be allowed to collect as this will not be permitted under the present regulations. I hope the above is clear. I am always here on my computer to answer any questions. - Elizabeth@transportmodels.co.uk Just a little note, officially I have not retired yet. What is going to happen on 30 June, I really don't know. To all customers, please stay safe. Liz, Mark and staff.

According to the blog on the website Liz is in isolation at the moment so nobody knows. The sale is still going on the website for a couple more weeks.
