Jol Wilkinson Posted March 21, 2020 Share Posted March 21, 2020 (edited) LRM will shortly be releasing a new 4mm kit for the LNWR Ramsbottom 4ft Shunter 0-4-0 Saddle Tank. Details will appear on the LRM Website -http://www.londonroadmodels.co.uk The home page also has details of a revision to postal charges during the Coronavirus outbreak, to support customers who are now unable to buy at the shows that LRM usually attend. Orders up to £30 will still be subject to a £2.00 P&P charge, orders over £30 will be sent post free.

RMweb Premium polybear Posted March 21, 2020 RMweb Premium Share Posted March 21, 2020 At £2.00 P&P it's an absolute bargain anyway - even more so now... Top class. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Blandford1969 Posted March 22, 2020 RMweb Premium Share Posted March 22, 2020 Hi Jol, In a load of etches and bits picked up from an auction were the etches for a L&Y class 25 and the L&Y 7f . Would LRM sell fittings for the engines and a chassis for the 7F as this was missing? Cheers in advance Duncan 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium 30368 Posted March 22, 2020 RMweb Premium Share Posted March 22, 2020 Duncan, In my experience, Jol is only too obliging - replaced FOC parts missing from K2 kit by return so I'm sure etches would be available. Kind regards, Richard b 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jol Wilkinson Posted March 22, 2020 Author Share Posted March 22, 2020 (edited) Just to clarify matters, I am not involved with the production side of LRM. I have helped John Redrup out for many years on an unpaid basis with marketing/promoting his business, designing kits,helping at shows, etc. (something I believe also happens with many small suppliers who have part time supporters). Living about 100 miles from Watford (where John lives) would make helping out even more rather difficult. For those reasons I can't say whether a chassis etch is available separately for the L&Y 7F. It isn't listed as such on the website or in the price-list.It will rather depend on how the artwork was set out (some of the earlier George Norton kits in the range aren't laid out in the most logical way). Fittings on the other hand are usually available, as these are produced in house (cast whitemetal) or bought in (brass and n/s) so are usually available as separate items. An email to John via the contact button on the website will get an answer, usually quite quickly. http://www.londonroadmodels.co.uk/ or by the email address; londonroadmodels@btinternet.com Having recently moved and needing to sort out the new (to us) house) to Madam's requirements and carry out some much needed updates, as well as commissioning a new workshop, planning a new layout around the part of London Road I still own (the original terminus has gone back into John's hands) as well as the impact on all our lives by the Coronavirus pandemic, I don't think I'll have much time to be helping out more at LRM for a while. Edited to add that I also act as John's "anti -social media" voice as he prefers to spend his time on production, distribution,product development etc. (to use big business terminology).

RMweb Premium Compound2632 Posted March 24, 2020 RMweb Premium Share Posted March 24, 2020 Best wishes to yourself, Jol, and to John at this difficult time. I imagine that with the latest restrictions on movement and requirement to self-isolate the point has been reached at which it is impractical for John to dispatch orders by post.

Thanks Steve, I believe John will continue to process mail orders as long as possible, as many of our Small Suppliers will do. Post Offices remain open, although it may be sensible to limit visits to once a week for all those dispatching orders. 5 hours ago, hayfield said: Jol Glad the house move happened given the latest restrictions, good luck on settling in which can be challenging at the best of times, let alone when on lock down Keep safe and well John thanks, we have plenty do do to keep us occupied (the house is sound but has lacked a bit of routine maintenance). Some of the bigger jobs that required getting a tradesman in are obviously held up. Today's bad news is that the start of the build for the new workshop in the garden has been put on hold indefinitely. We could have worked around that as the builders wouldn't need access to the house and are pretty self sufficient, but all their suppliers have closed down. Besides, the Government doesn't regard their type of work (Cedar clad garden offices, etc.) as essential, which I can't say I agree with.
