drduncan Posted March 23, 2020 Share Posted March 23, 2020 Does anyone have a recent product list for Millholme Models/Stevenson carriages and contact details? drduncan Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordon A Posted March 23, 2020 Share Posted March 23, 2020 Were the Milholme kits absorbed into the collection including K's which ended up near Warminster? If so they have been taken over jointly by South Eastern Finecast and Branchlines of Westbury. Gordon A 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brassey Posted March 23, 2020 Share Posted March 23, 2020 No Millholme Models is part of Stevenson. The last time I spoke with Paul Barker he had moved to Scotland and I don't have tha address. I will PM the email address I have. I will have an old price list somewhere if that would help 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Joseph_Pestell Posted March 23, 2020 RMweb Gold Share Posted March 23, 2020 He was at the recent Stafford Show. So their exhibition manager will have contact details. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jub45565 Posted March 23, 2020 Share Posted March 23, 2020 Here are the 4 pages - these don't include the loco castings which he usual has at exhibitions. I don't think I've seen a separate list for those, but he may be able to supply by email. This list, incidentally, I 'm pretty sure Gordon A picked up for me - so he should have known they aren't part of the Nucast Partners ;-) Page 4 includes bank account details, so I can supply these by PM if needed - but I've cropped them out for the public view. 1 2 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
clowe999 Posted March 28, 2020 Share Posted March 28, 2020 The list with prices shown was still current at Expo EM North last September. Paul does not have a website, so its call or email. He does quite a bit more than the list suggests, so asking him if he does something in particular from the old ranges, especially castings-only packages, not shown might prove fruitful. I had not heard he moved to Scotland. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel W Posted March 30, 2020 Share Posted March 30, 2020 (edited) I saw him at the start of March at Preston show. Acquired a Furness Railway D5 kit and a LNWR milk van. The Stevenson Carriages list posted above seems to match the one i was given at the show. However, i have uploaded the price/product list for the Millholme range too.

Steamport Southport Posted March 30, 2020 Share Posted March 30, 2020 Eek. That list looks like an expensive time ahead... Been after a Highflyer and Dreadnought for ages and they always go for silly money on eBay. Jason Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
YorkshiremanII Posted June 6, 2020 Share Posted June 6, 2020 Excuse me, but I'm new here. Is this a current thread? March of the year 2020? I'm returning to modelling and looking for the suppliers I used to know for the LYRS. MAJ Models for instance, Cotswold, MPD. I'm lost!!

Buhar Posted June 6, 2020 Share Posted June 6, 2020 I don't know the state of supply at the moment, but Paul is looking to sell the business with an offer of training on the equipment. Alan 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry to disappoint, but all three of those manufacturers have long since gone. I have attached a link HERE to a 2018 list of what was available to L&Y modellers. (It's not my list or my website, but it might give you a starting point.) Regards Paul Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steamport Southport Posted June 6, 2020 Share Posted June 6, 2020 The Cotswold models are now with Nu Cast Partners. I don't know if any of the L&Y models are going to reappear. But other Cotswold models have already such as the GWR Pannier Tanks. https://www.rmweb.co.uk/community/index.php?/topic/105342-nucast-partners/page/5/ Jason 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richard Richard Sadly a lot of these suppliers seem to be long gone, and whilst the Nucast Partnership are starting to reintroduce some of the Nucast range I guess it will be a slow and selective process Not to everyone's liking the best place to find items is eBay, availability patchy with a lot of competition and no guarantee on quality/completeness of the items London Road models have a supurb reputation for quality kits Locos https://traders.scalefour.org/LondonRoadModels/locos-tenders-chassis/lancs-yorks/ Carriges https://traders.scalefour.org/LondonRoadModels/carriages/lancs-yorks-cariages/ Wagons https://traders.scalefour.org/LondonRoadModels/various/wagons/ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steamport Southport Posted June 7, 2020 Share Posted June 7, 2020 Another good manufacturer for L&Y is 51L/Wizard. Although some of the carriages are out of stock at the moment. https://www.wizardmodels.ltd/ Jason Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
clowe999 Posted June 23, 2021 Share Posted June 23, 2021 Some interesting news. Squires Tools of Bognor Regis have bought Stevenson Carriages and Millholme models from Paul Barker. (They confirmed that earlier today). They are relaunching the carriages first then Millholme loco kits on eBay on a ‘buy now’ basis ad complete kits. Prices increased by £5 but now post free. Whilst it is good that the names will live on, I don’t see any ‘sides and ends only’ packages where the average punter can supply roofs, underframes etc from other sources. I will also miss having a cheerful natter with Paul Barker at serious modellers shows (as well as doing a deal to buy a mixture of kit parts). Whether we shall see the kits on offer at shows such as ExpoEM or Scale4 remains to be seen. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steamport Southport Posted June 23, 2021 Share Posted June 23, 2021 Been on eBay for a while. I'm sure there was a thread, but it might have been buried in the SE Finecast one. https://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/Model-Railways-Trains/180250/m.html?_nkw=&_armrs=1&_ipg=&_from=&_ssn=squirestools Coaches here. https://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/Coaches/122602/m.html?_nkw=&_armrs=1&_ipg=&_from=&_ssn=squirestools They seem to have about 50 kit items at a time. Then change them about. So if you want something it might be worth asking. The only Millholme loco kit I've seen was the Maryport & Carlisle 0-6-0 Jason Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steamport Southport Posted June 23, 2021 Share Posted June 23, 2021 Ah yes. For some reason under "Transport Collectables" which is probably why I couldn't find them. Here's the M&C 0-6-0. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/384020573867?hash=item596968eeab:g:iVsAAOSw5DpgTLxD Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

PenrithBeacon Posted June 24, 2021 Share Posted June 24, 2021 The warning was given by a friend who is a finescale modeller and a railway historian. He bought one of the kits and compared notes about the range with others. I value his view, do you have a different experience? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
micklner Posted June 24, 2021 Share Posted June 24, 2021 I built a LNERA2/3 and a LNER Q1 (more like a Centurion Tank and about the same weight) many years ago. Both were dire in the extreme , poor castings and etchings, poor fit etc etc . Examples of the A2/3 have been shown on Wright Writes as Tony says "hit it with a hammer and use it for ballast" They must be at least a 30 + year old design. Hopefully new moulds by now !! ? I contacted the last seller before Squires re the H&BR Tender engine listed asking about any improvements, he gave a vague reply !! I didnt buy one !! Buyer beware. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
