backwaterscotland Posted November 30, 2010 Share Posted November 30, 2010 While searching around for some bus bits I stumbled across this supplier : Boltons Bits If you go to the "Model Bus Part 2" page there is a selection of parts for detailing bus depots that would be applicable to railway depots such as welders, lockers, compressors, workbenches, toolboxes etc in whitemetal. Hope this is of use to others. Andy B) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

backwaterscotland Posted March 15, 2011 Author Share Posted March 15, 2011 Update : Went to the site today to order some detail bits and found the following message on the front page BOLTONS BITS IS TAKING A YEAR OUT IN 2011 TO ATTEND TO OTHER PROJECTS. MANY THANKS FOR YOUR CUSTOM. HAVE A HAPPY CHRISTMAS AND I'LL BE BACK IN 2012!! All of the pages related to the detailing bits are now missing so it looks like another source will need to be found or wait until 2012.

Ah, but will his customers. ... if there actually were many of them ... as I missed the OP and had not heard of him, I guess I will never know if there was anything of interest to me.

Kenton Posted March 15, 2011 Share Posted March 15, 2011 Grief I would send off an order! toolboxes, jacks, workbench ... just the sort of clutter I can never find elsewhere. I don't understand the shutdown. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
craigwelsh Posted March 15, 2011 Share Posted March 15, 2011 I don't understand the shutdown. Possibly wants to crack on with the restoration of his bus maybe instead of mucking about casting and packaging orders for a while? Im guessing its not a breadwinning enterprise (could be wrong) so why not stop for a while and break. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kenton Posted March 15, 2011 Share Posted March 15, 2011 so why not stop for a while and break. selfish customers waiting to offer money in exchange for product ??? ones that are likely to forget of his existence (by shunning their offerings) unless he returns in a blaze of advertising and a big public fanfare. me, I've lived without up to now, so I can probably live without until something else comes along. Or invest my £££ in some other item/kit that is still available. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
