Fat Controller Posted November 23, 2011 Share Posted November 23, 2011 Does anyone have a current address for ABS? I sent off an order a few weeks ago to the usual one (39 Napier Road, Hamworthy), but have heard nothing- when I've ordered stuff before, it's normally arrived within a week. I subsequently saw a different address on Bernard Taylor's chronology of British cars, so wonder if there has been a change. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fat Controller Posted March 13, 2012 Author Share Posted March 13, 2012 Did you ever get your order Brian as I need some bits off then now. Sorry- should have mentioned that I got an apolgetic E-mail from Adrian, saying that he'd been ill, and the goods turned up shortly after. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RichardB1000 Posted July 22, 2012 Share Posted July 22, 2012 Hi Brian W, I want to order some ABS kits, but Adrian isn't answering his phone, so I thought I'd send him an email. Could you let me have his email address please - it's not on the trader details. Thanks Richard Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Richard He was in Manchester with a trade stand at Festival of Model Tramways over the weekend which would explain why he didn't answer the phone!

RMweb Premium richierich Posted December 25, 2013 RMweb Premium Share Posted December 25, 2013 What kind of stuff do ABS now produce? I did see on Jim Wright Smith's posting on his model vehicles thread a Ford Transit Mk3 / Dormobile bread van (commonly converted by the Caryle works into 16 seat minibuses for the NBC in 1985-1986. Back in the late 1980s / early 1990s there was a range of bus kit, mainly inherited from Westwood and later on The Model Bus Company. It would be interesting to know if any of these kits are still available. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Tim Dubya Posted November 9, 2014 RMweb Premium Share Posted November 9, 2014 Does anybody know if ABS are still trading? I got sent a catalogue by Adrian back in July and posted off an order by return but as yet have not heard anything (the cheque has not been cashed either). If anybody has any news I would be most grateful, I do hope Adrian is OK! Cheers Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

decauville1126 Posted November 9, 2014 Share Posted November 9, 2014 He was at ExpoNG at Swanley last month with an excellent array of stock. But please bear in mind that he is very much a one-man-band with many strings and ranges to his bow, hence responses may sometimes back up. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wheatley Posted November 10, 2014 Share Posted November 10, 2014 He's too busy posting on RMweb annoying people to satisfy potential customers Or, seeing as he hasn't yet cashed the cheque, your order is lost in the post and he knows nothing about it. Like Mike says, pm him and check. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jwealleans Posted November 10, 2014 Share Posted November 10, 2014 I'm afraid neither of the last two orders I've sent have elicited any response from Adrian and both were substantial enough that I'm sure he must have had at least some of the items. I've resigned myself to having to catch him at a show and see what he has with him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium cctransuk Posted November 10, 2014 RMweb Premium Share Posted November 10, 2014 Unless Adrian has stopped answering the phone, I have never had difficulty in contacting him that way - unless he's out, of course. His phone number is given via the link in Post 2 of this thread. Regards, John Isherwood. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loconuts Posted November 13, 2014 Share Posted November 13, 2014 Adrian is still going, I only spoke to him on Tuesday on the phone. He is however very busy fulfilling back orders. Manufacturing was disrupted due to major civil engineering works and he is getting over a very nasty cold. just bear with him, I'm sure he will get to your order soon.
