Ben Alder Posted February 25, 2014 Share Posted February 25, 2014 I have tried phoning them recently, but the phone number is not recognised. Are they still trading, and if so does anyone have contact details. Thanks. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
micklner Posted February 25, 2014 Share Posted February 25, 2014 Got a order without problems a couple of weeks ago. Is this the same number? Never had a problem with email. http://www.eastkentmodels.co.uk/ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben Alder Posted February 25, 2014 Author Share Posted February 25, 2014 That's the number I tried-, but might try an email. I would have liked to talk to them though, to ascertain availability of spares. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
YK 50A Posted February 25, 2014 Share Posted February 25, 2014 Hi, The number is out of order, it does say so on the website (link above), but the email address is working fine - ekmodels@hotmail.com. They normally turn around email enquiries and orders by post within 24 hours; I received a reply from them earlier today. Hope that helps!

Leader 36001 Posted February 28, 2014 Share Posted February 28, 2014 I have dealt with them very recently and they will only take payment by cheque, whilst the phone line is defective.They offer the usual fast professional service. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
YK 50A Posted March 1, 2014 Share Posted March 1, 2014 I have dealt with them very recently and they will only take payment by cheque, whilst the phone line is defective.They offer the usual fast professional service. For information, I don't think East Kent Models are in any rush to reinstate their telephone line, but they are taking payment by debit and credit card, either by post or scanning and emailing the order form. Minimum order is a fiver plus 4 quid postage. Alun Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ben Alder Posted March 7, 2014 Author Share Posted March 7, 2014 Catch up- contacted them via email and arranged my needs and later spoke to them by phone to sort out some details. Still very much in business, and able to supply a good selection of Hornby Chinese made spares, which hasn't always been the case..... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leader 36001 Posted March 9, 2014 Share Posted March 9, 2014 Anybody notice the footnote? Business for sale owners retiring. East Kent Models has been for sale as the owners wish to retire. This has been the situation since September 2012, when they closed their shop in Whitstable High Street and moved to Joseph Wilson Industrial Estate in Whitstable.
