Dungrange Posted October 21, 2020 Share Posted October 21, 2020 I guess the question is what specifically are you looking for? I'm sure there are plenty of shops with some Peco Code 100 track, but may not be the particular items that you're looking for (or at least not all of them). My local model shop, Harburn Hobbies indicate some but not all of the Peco range as being in stock on their website - https://www.harburnhobbies.co.uk/acatalog/Streamline.html. 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Bucoops Posted October 22, 2020 RMweb Gold Share Posted October 22, 2020 From what someone said in the track shortages thread a couple of threads below this one is Peco are trying to be fair and sending small amounts to lots of suppliers rather than big chunks to a smaller number. So until they can catch up it might be worth doing a bit of ringing around different suppliers. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zunnan Posted November 1, 2020 Share Posted November 1, 2020 (edited) Hobbyrail (Sutton Coldfield) has a reasonable, although diminishing stock of code 100 streamline points and flex. Setrack though, seems to have gone the way of rocking horse poop, to the point that Barrie was trying to persuade me to strip my 6x4 test layout for S/H turnouts...

Popular Post Mike at C&M Posted November 1, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted November 1, 2020 (edited) It needs to put into context that Peco have been cursed with bad luck since the whole Covid shenanigans started. The need for safe working environments and social distancing meant they had to adapt their production methods for this. Hence the closure of Pecorama to allow them to spread out their production area. And all this with a limited workforce due to the initial lockdown. Factor in that the world and his dog suddenly found time to build layouts and use Peco products, and the production problems above. This saw existing stocks quickly exhausted and difficulties in replacing that stock. This problem is still to be fully resolved as they work hard on their production. Throw in a cyber attack that effectively locked up all computer records for a few weeks, and just this week despatching of orders had to stop when a member of staff had a positive CoVid test. As a retailer, I have to thank Peco for keeping us fully informed of what is happening down at Beer. They have been prepared to tell us the bad news, as well as the good, so that we are aware why what would usually be normal is not happening. They have made a Herculean effort to keep all shops supplied, so if you are unable to immediately find what you are looking for in your shop of choice, it is unfair to consider it to be a failing of Peco.

Totally agree, Peco have been wonderful at keeping us (the trade) informed and trying to be fair with everyone. We still have stocks of Code 100 but going down fast, especially turnouts, but no Peco point motors of any sort left now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium newbryford Posted November 15, 2020 RMweb Premium Share Posted November 15, 2020 Try KMS Railtech in Scotland. I needed some 5x Code 75 points (2, 2 and 1 quantity) and they were the first supplier I found with all three types in stock. And good prices to boot. So it may bode well for Code 100. I have used them before and will probably use them again. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thought it time to bring this topic to the front of our minds again. It appears that matters are no better now than they were in early November? I am told that orders to Peco (for 00 code 75 and 100 points etc., standard items, not the more unusual) are still mostly supplied missing more items than are supplied. Also because Peco have no back ordering system, the missing items have to be ordered again, and so on and so on?? This must be a very frustrating process for anyone who wants specific items , say for a particular layout design build, rather than just for stock? Any background on this and what is being done to combat the problem would be appreciated. Many thanks Paul Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Mike at C&M Posted January 6, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted January 6, 2021 Happy to provide an update, Paul. Since my update at the beginning of November, there has been a further problem with a CoVid outbreak that shut the factory down for a short period. Peco are dealing with an unprecedented demand for their products from across the world - remember, their ranges are popular in many other countries, not just the UK. Their production is still spread out across the site at Peco, and where possible two shifts are being operated. It physically is not possible for them to produce any more. Indeed, just this afternoon, we heard from Peco that despite the national lockdown, production will continue. The back ordering system is not a problem for this retailer. Quite simply, if you do not receive an item, it is just another line you type on your next order. This way, we know exactly where we stand, and the system is easy to operate and understandable. There is definitely a rotation in items that are unavailable. One week you might not get some points/track you want - a couple of weeks later you get these items, but others will them become temporarily unavailable. The simple answer to the problem is defeat CoVid and then when everyone is back at work, they won't have as much time to build layouts. A rather blunt answer, I appreciate. Other than this, Peco may gradually claw back the supply/demand, but this will not be a quick fix. I will repeat my earlier comments. Peco are doing their very best to deal with the incredible demand for their products, and I applaud them for their efforts under difficult circumstances. 9 3 6 1 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium 7013 Posted January 12, 2021 RMweb Premium Share Posted January 12, 2021 Paul at Alton models, superb service. I have been looking everywhere for Peco medium Electrofrog points. All the big boys saying they are awaiting supplies. Phoned Paul who had just what I needed, they were sent yesterday, delivered this morning. I had previously got some finescale track from Paul when nobody else had any. Brilliant service and shop from a satisfied customer. I only ordered what I needed, don't want any hoarding in model railways. 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
