deltic17 Posted August 26, 2015 Share Posted August 26, 2015 I understand the Model Express O guage range was sold on a little while ago. I'm sure somebody knows what happened? - are these kits marketed under a different name now? Thanks in advance..... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
muddys-blues Posted August 27, 2015 Share Posted August 27, 2015 Hello Deltic 17, The other month I rang the contact number that was in one of the Gauge O Guild mags and spoke to the owner, who told me the business was in the process of being sold on, the new owner would be announced in due course was the sale was completed. So I think we may have to wait till this is finalised, then hopefully there will be an announcement soon. What item was you after from them ? Hope this helps Craig Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

mike hughes Posted September 1, 2015 Share Posted September 1, 2015 Hello all, I can confirm that Model Express has been brought by J & M Hughes of Rustington, West Sussex. I can safely say there's a fair bit of work to upgrade some of the bits! Mike Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
