'To order' from Walthers is often measured in glacial epochs. I'll probably want it inside 6 months. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Impressive looking structure like many of these Walthers industrial buildings. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not the end of the world; the structure's not a problem and I'll just have to do a Blue Peter job on the mill stand. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold D9020 Nimbus Posted October 19, 2021 RMweb Gold Share Posted October 19, 2021 The "to order" version from Gaugemaster is "new", the "old" version is listed too but as out of stock. I assume you’ve tried Mech Models, who stock US outline. If it's old stock, Model Junction may have some left if they haven't closed down completely by now. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

A shame as Mech are a short, pleasant drive away. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
wombatofludham Posted October 19, 2021 Share Posted October 19, 2021 There are a few on Tatbay, but it's not clear how much the customs will sting you for as they are all from the US and have "estimated" postage. Unless you can persuade the sender to label them as toys. Apparently the Japanese supplier of sci-fi kits for my brother does that and Rugeley PO have never stung him for a customs charge. There again, it's Rugeley, and probably too much bother. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium spamcan61 Posted October 19, 2021 RMweb Premium Share Posted October 19, 2021 150 EUR over at Modelbahnshop lippe, not sure what that would be DDP post Brexit. https://www.modellbahnshop-lippe.com/Landscape+%26+Decoration/Trade+%26+Industry/WALTHERS-534601/gb/modell_325489.html At 32 inches long at least you get a lot of plastic for your GBP/USD/EUR Wandering mildly OT I like the look of this one, would be quite fiddly to scratchbuild and a lot of plastic for <50 EUR. I reckon these would like fine on a 4mm layout, might even give a tad of forced perspective. https://www.modellbahnshop-lippe.com/Landscape+%26+Decoration/Trade+%26+Industry/WALTHERS-534046/gb/modell_255508.html 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lived here for four years and never had to go to sorting office for a parcel; they've got the hang of not carrying stuff around all day and taking it back. Not like Stafford where I'd be at the office 1/2 times a week. Mind you, most of the time they only carried 'Sorry we missed you' cards. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Oldddudders Posted October 19, 2021 RMweb Gold Share Posted October 19, 2021 I didn't realise you'd moved down there, Andy. In times past, when Sherry and I were an illicit couple, I would sometimes get my hair cut at Gill Collier's. Sherry's son still lives there. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
chickensoup Posted October 20, 2021 Share Posted October 20, 2021 Andy Often wondered what builds you have on the go as obviously enough on here display their efforts. An interesting kit - going Teeside or South Wales? Please tell. CS Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

S'pose it would have had a roof on it then and no polar bears or killer whales in the garden? Coincidentally I've been to see one of the best steelworks scenes on a layout today, again a Black Country flavour to it all. Bostin. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coincidentally I've been to see one of the best steelworks scenes on a layout today, again a Black Country flavour to it all. Bostin. I would hope so seeing as my 14x great granny was born in the Castle. Be a bit draughty otherwise. My nan and grandad lived in Pleck, Walsall, across the motorway from what is now Ikea but back then was FH Lloyds, which had it's own ex-BR Class 03 shunter. Just down the road was James Bridge Copper works. These huge, mysterious and sometimes noxious buildings were everywhere at one time, then sometime between me starting my Planning degree at Perry Barr, and eventually working at Walsall Council and Centro between 1989 and 1999, they had vanished. The Walthers industrial buildings do capture the look well. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I may do some updates on here when anything meaningful happens! 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
