We're doing this one with 25% off!

Hi all, As mentioned above, we're also doing Advent deals! Some of the items are even stuff that people think are sold out everywhere... Our deals are also not just for one day, we add more each day but they will remain in place until Midnight on Christmas Eve! Today: EFE Rail Hymeks on offer. As a heads up, we'll be offering the N Gauge Class 17s soon, along with the Hogwarts set with additional coaches. You can see the range here: https://www.kmsrailtech.co.uk/380-advent-deals

Do phones actually still function as phones these days? :-) great work on the projects. Think it’s about time you moved on to a new layout though, nudge nudge, wink wink!

Incase it’s been missed, (the CDA has its own thread), we’re delighted to be taking pre orders for the CDA packs now on the same links as before. Running numbers to be announced soon too!

We’re very excited to see these! Just to make things clear: For ALL the HAAs and CDAs (and any variants!) we will have different running numbers to Trains4U. We will both produce the same quantity of wagons (except blue cradle HAA) That means, for example, with our two double packs of the CDA, along with Trains4U’s two packs, you’ll be able to purchase 8 different running numbers of ECC livery. With the product codes, “K” is for KMS while “T” is for T4U. The following number in brackets is a sequential number such as (2). xxx K(2) is the same livery as xxx T(2) but running numbers are different. Additionally, production quantities are set. For the HAAs as an example, some packs are already close to selling out so if you’d like the full range of running numbers from us and Trains4U, we really suggest pre ordering as soon as possible. It costs you nothing to pre order but it may save you being disappointed! As mentioned, we may look to do more packs if the demand is there but these would be additional sequential packs, not more of previously announced ones. (I.e. even more running number choices :-) )

Thanks for the support Mark. We look forward to seeing your order and hopefully some images of the rake when they arrive! Sorry we can’t help in the decision making on which rake. Did you say your new fiddle yard would take two rakes? :-D on a side note, we have plenty of track in stock! ;-)

Thanks for this. Of course you can do this by standing order. We're also looking to add a post payment 0% system - we're evaluating the different suppliers for this at the moment.

We have plenty in stock! In both 4 and 7mm too :-)

Thanks - we're very excited too! We will give an update on the CDAs very soon in its own thread, but we'll of course add the info here as a heads up!

Thanks very much, we can't either!

I would just like to echo these words on behalf of KMS Railtech. We have been working on this project for quite some time along with Cavalex. We are delighted to be working in conjunction with Trains4U, and decided to operate the same pre order form as them in the interests of continuity for customers wishing to order from both Trains4U and ourselves. We also decided that we would operate a no deposit system for pre orders on this project, and will do so wherever possible on other projects. We have invested significant funds into the project and it will be seen to completion. We too have seen the impact of failed deposit schemes in the past, however some of our other projects simply cannot go ahead without deposits. The HAA/CDA has been in tooling for some time now and we are very excited to see it in the flesh! P.S. We too were there!

Come on in, it’s nice and cozy. The fire is on. There’s plenty of food and drink... how many 73s would you like sir?

We couldn't agree more about the MK5 and 73! There will be some 16 coach rakes being hauled by 73s on our layouts with no OHLE The EOI is going very well so far. So hopefully the EOI stage won't be too long before we can move to a pre order system. We would imagine that this stage will be for a little longer than the EOI.

Thanks Danny. Of course, you will be able to change which ones you order at the time. It is not a crowdfunding project where you will only get the item you ordered, we will try to have some for stock also. However, it is also important that pre-orders are made for those that are committed as without these, it is unlikely that the project will go ahead. With regards numbers, we are a little away from that yet. It is possible that we do more than two numbers too depending on demand!

Hi Danny, thanks for your interest in the 73/9! You do not "have" to fill in the EIO form, however we will use this to decide whether to ahead or not. If we do go ahead, we will use the information your provide to let you know the project is to progress allowing you plenty of time to place an order. We are not 100% sure on the deposits for this model yet. Where possible we are trying to offer exclusives with no deposit however the investment required for a run of locomotives this big will most likely require some sort of commitment - obviously we will keep this to a minimum and the more orders we have the smaller this deposit will be. We can take payments in stages for all purchases too, if this is of interest. We are also working to provide interest free post purchase payment plans which will be live one the website well before the 73/9 hits the shelves. Please let us know if we can help any further.

Indeed, we even have some still in stock! :-)

The two ‘First’ branded packs would have run together. There were only two stag MK3s painted so in theory you only need one pack, however personally I have a 16 coach rake in 4mm because that’s what ‘should’ have happened! The stags go with the un branded pair and you could have up to 5 packs with the stag to make 12 sleepers (plus 4 mk2). However, in theory at least there would have been a crossover of branded and unbranded with the stag. There was only one gold stripe and one ’no stripe’ coach too, so you could go I stag and one gold/no stripe pack, and two unbranded and two branded white stripes to give the twelve sleepers. these run from Glasgow/Edinburgh to London and back. alternately, you can run as little as one twin pack with 2 mk2s. For example the Aberdeen portion sometime has two sleepers, sometimes 4. Inverness and Fort William are (I believe) the same. This is just my own experience though, I’m sure there are more knowledgeable people on the subject! Mike

Don’t forget: #4028 GBRF ‘Defiance’ #4031 GBRF ‘Hercules’ Exclusive from KMS Railtech

BACK BY POPULAR DEMAND – NEW BATCH OF O GAUGE CLASS 50s REVEALED After the phenomenal response to our first release of O gauge Class 50s in late-2019, we have received many requests to produce more models in the most popular liveries. With all versions long since sold out at the warehouse and the most sought-after liveries snapped up quickly by ‘50’ fans, we are delighted to unveil a second batch of these cult classic English Electric Type 4s. In response to feedback from customers, we are producing further quantities of the refurbished BR blue and standard large logo blue locomotives (with grey roof), but we are also adding the much-requested large logo variation with a black roof, as applied to some of the most popular members of the class in the 1980s. Completing a trio of large logo ‘Vacs’ will be fully numbered, named and weathered 50036 Victorious in final condition with red bufferbeams and NSE flashes. We will also fill a gap in the Network SouthEast story with a model in the early light blue variant of revised NSE livery. We will also cater for the departmental scene with a fully numbered, named and heavily weathered model of DCWA pool stalwart 50019 Ramillies in ‘Laira blue’ with grey roof and cabside numbers. Finally, following the success of our GB Railfreight ‘50’, our friends at KMS Railtech have commissioned a rerun of 50049 Defiance in its current livery and, for the first time, GBRf 50007 Hercules in its current split identity guise (numbered on one side as 50014 Warspite). For further information on these two exclusive editions, please see www.kmsrailtech.co.uk All models will have the same technical specification as the first batch of Class 50s and suggested retail price (SRP) has been held at £699.00 for pristine locomotives (factory weathered models £729.00). Delivery is expected in mid-2021. All versions are being produced in limited quantities so early ordering is recommended to avoid disappointment Contact your local Heljan stockists now to reserve yours!
