Aha! We do have an N gauge mailing list, although I will be honest our newsletters are very much demand based and our N/OO9/Garden Railway newsletters only get distribution when something juicy happens - our OO is a more structured, regular newsletter...when I get time to set them up. 😅 Sounds like you might be on the wrong list there, not a problem at all - that'll be our fault. If you drop me an email through this page I can get you swapped over to the right on. 😊

Good shout Chris, being a family business and holidays/special events etc (including one we have in the middle of May) usually mean we close the odd day here and there. We have a shop customer specific mailing list which we only recommend those that visit regularly or plan to visit anytime sign up to for updates on opening hours, shop only offers, etc. Anyone wishing to sign up can find that here.

However much I love Cornish Pasties I don't think I could managed that many... They can be traced back to the Dean Forest Railway who kindly save and flatpack those boxes for us upon delivery. Rapido were very nice and provided the box dimensions in advance so we could prepare and stock up as those flat style boxes are hard to find! The other one that's a problem for finding boxes is the EFE LSWR 3 and 4 coach packs and the Rapido APT-E...

Hornby Magazine poll - no option to choose Derails
Derails Models replied to Metr0Land's topic in Other Magazines
Honestly, we're not peeved at all - in fact I didn't even know until I saw this thread. 😂 We're actually more flattered that this topic was created than if we were in the awards itself, so thankyou all for the kind comments. 😄 We often purposely hide away anyway, we rely on word of mouth and recommendations and only pay for very limited advertising so it's nice when we do manage to stretch ourselves into awards! Sure, being nominated for awards is great and we're always very appreciative, but not being on the list is fine for us and just means we've got to work harder to be nominated next year! 💪 -

When will we be able to pre-order the promised Rapido GWR Y4 vans please?

Thanks for posting the links above Mark, appreciate that. 😀 They are already selling like hot-cakes! Regarding the Berry Wiggins tankers, Dapol are helping out with that one albeit a general release and not an exclusive to us: https://derails.co.uk/4F-059-005-Dapol-14T-Tank-Wagon-Berry-Wiggins-Black?search=Berry Wiggins

Hi there! Whoops! Looks like the listing team got confused on their classes, thanks for letting us know! Having just audited the orders placed so far and remaining stock on the site, we believe it was only the LNWR coaches that were effected - all of the other listings were and are correct (but please let us know if you think otherwise!). Please feel free to resume impluse purchasing... 😉 -
Thanks for the kind comments, as Tim alludes to both Saul and I were away at the end of this week, so I'm glad to hear the rest of the staff managed to live up to their promises... 😄

To add to the comments already, glad it's all back up and running! I know the pain data loss can cause first hand, so to be able to recover to this position is fantastic! Thank-you for your hard work Andy!

For those of you with retailer orders, I'm pleased to say our delivery of coaches and NDM's has been booked in for Wednesday so we know they are shipping to retailers this week! Look out for them arriving on the shelves of your local model shop soon!
