Tortoise Motor Supply

[russellwar]

Hi all

Just wondered if anyone had any news on the exact position of supply for tortoise motors. I understand the current situation may have affected things, but the only info I can see on the website is that they were supposed to update it in 2019 and everyone seems to be out of stock.

So I just wanted to check before I look at alternatives.

I did find a few Smails available so may go for them if not

Thanks

I've asked a few retailers and most have them on order from the US.

There are some available on Ebay if you're prepared to import from the US. For example, a 12-pack here.

Thanks funny I looked last week and found none so either I searched wrong or they are all new. Brilliant thanks

Otter Valley Railroad is showing them in stock as single or 6 packs.  As is Tony's Train Exchange (1/6/12 packs, 12 pack is $163 USD)

So available, just not in the UK right now?  

I've found both of the above very good for shipping further than to the UK...
