New product - SR 8 Wire Concrete Fencing.  This was a commission which is now finished. The fencing was used extensively by the Southern Railway. Typically the spacing between posts was around 18ft and the number of bays between straining posts was around 20 bays. I have not produced straining posts as 2 end posts and 20 standard posts is typically enough to produce a 1.5m run of fencing - more than enough for typical model railways. The end posts have 0.6mm holes in them at the correct spacing and all have had a drill run through them. The standard posts have dents on one side to help with positioning the wire. In real life the wire went through a split pin that went through the post with the ends of the split pins being splayed on the railway side. The test piece shown used invisible thread for the wire (obtained from any good sewing shop) which then has to be dry brushed with paint to stand out. The posts have a 1mm diameter peg on the bottom. You can find them on the website in the Lynton & Barnstaple section.

10% off purchases all weekend.

 

This weekend I have made live https://stmodels.sumupstore.com/. With the new store I am able to move away from sending invoices for payment and can now take take payment via credit cards and PayPal. It also allows me to offer discount codes so I am offering 10% off this weekend using the code LAUNCH10. I can even offer collection at Narrow Gauge South in 2 weeks time to save paying for shipping - sorry to all those not able to get to Narrow Gauge South but at least you can get 10% off!

LAUNCH10 discount extended!

 

Thank you to everyone who visited the new store this weekend and especially to those who bought something 😃 It mostly worked as intended.

 

There were a couple of issues. Some people found it unclear where to put the LAUNCH10 discount code. It goes near the top on the right on the checkout page as in the picture.

 

The other issue is that some items were showing as out of stock due to having inventory control incorrectly enabled on them. Nothing is out of stock. I have been going through the inventory today ahead of Narrow Gauge South and everything is available.

 

As a result of these issues I am extending the LAUNCH10 discount code until the early hours of Wednesday morning in case some of you were frustrated by either of these issues.

 

Don't forget, you can also save on shipping if you want to pick up your purchases at Narrow Gauge South in 2 weeks time.

Order placed, looks more "fun" than the Slater's alternative 👍

I had a quick browse as a result of the discount, as I've been after some L&B carriage lighting pots (acetylene variety, as Peco have started making their with oil pots), so added a couple of packs of them and some barrels for a bit of background clutter. 

 

I couldn't find the discount code section, so just presumed that as it had passed the weekend that it had been deactivated. The 'message to seller' box was there, but not the discount one. It didn't stop me ordering though, as its something I've been meaning to do for ages!

 

I'll report back when they arrive!

 

Cheers

No option for anywhere other than U.K. delivery?

I need to work out how best to do this. A quick look at postal rates for Australia tells me I'll need to charge between £4 and £11.50 depending on weight and whether economy or standard delivery is used.

 

If you want to drop me an email at stuart@stmodels.co.uk for what you want I can work it out manually and send you an invoice.

Thanks Stuart. 

I could certainly use a bit of the Southern fencing, and maybe a few other bits and bobs. I'll make up the list in the next few days and get back to you. The postage sounds about normal for small items to Oz. 👍

The lamp tops and pots arrived the other day, and I'm very impressed by the quality of the printing, theyre certainly an improvement over the Peco equivalent. Sensibly, I ordered enough to convert all of my current L&B stock, which will happen in due course.

 

Now to make another acetylene cylinder control box and associated pipe work!

 

Cheers
