Happy December everyone! Seasonal discounts of 5% for orders over £10 up to 15% for orders over £150 are now active on my website at Isinglass Models Default dispatch is with Royal Mail with DPD as an option if time gets critical. Andy

It may be Halloween but the only scary thing about the beavertail model is how long it has taken to release! Finally all of the 3d printed parts have come together and despite the wobbles during the last year I am very happy with how this has turned out. The beavertail is now on sale on my website here: Isinglass Coronation Beavertail If the link doesn't work, you may need to visit the homepage and click through the cookie consent yada... (I don't collect or use your details but the shopping cart needs stuff etc.) As a departure from my other kits, I do include 3D printed glazing for the tail and 2 most rearward windows as they're curved making plasticard hard to fit. The rest of the side windows are rebated to accept clear plastic, matching the rest of the train. Price is the same as all my solo carriages, £52 for the body, floor and bogies, interior £11. You can opt out of the floor and/or bogies if desired. For the interior, you have the choice of either the original or the recently rebuilt carriage which has a shorter enclosed space plus a bar, making this an ideal model for modern image layouts running preservation stock. So with that, the full 9 carriage Coronation set is available on my website, giving me a few months clear to look over the Hornby offerings due next summer I will be limiting sales of this kit whilst I get used to the production without interrupting the rest of my range. My intention is for up to 10 (plus a few review copies) to be dispatched during November, more added after that based on any issues arising. One experience of the test builds. I can confirm that Glue 'n' Glaze is an excellent adhesive for 3d printed models, it just needs a little more patience than I normally show but easily allows parts to be separated, cleaned and re-fixed. On a side note, at the Newbury MRC show last weekend, the Beavertail attracted a lot of attention from young people asking what class loco it was. Just goes to show that over 80 years later, the Gresley design still looks pretty modern.

Thanks for the feedback Simon, I'll see if I can progress the artic set as well!

There are a couple of Barnums on my to do list, more may be added in the future.

N/2mm should be a possibility Simon. I really need to sit down for a month or 2 and just focus on reworking existing models to smaller scales.

Test build complete and kit 297 is now available on the Isinglass Models website. Photos attached.

I think you cracked it Mike. The direct link only works if you’ve already gone through the consent box (either accept or decline)

Thanks all, not sure what the issue is but site seems to work if you go directly to home page, then search for quad

After taking a look at some of my web page set up, I've tidied up the Quad art items, reduced the price and hopefully made it easier to order the set you need. There's also a discount code if you order 2 sets at once. https://www.isinglass-models.co.uk/3d-model-railway-shop#!/~/product/id=39943&prid=376&ctid=22&tp=pv I've also updated and repriced the GE quint set, also with a discount for ordering 2 or more.

CAD work on the GNR 45' Clerestory luggage brake (kit 297) is just about finished, expect a test build in a few days.

Today sees a new kit release , the GNR/ECJS 56' 6" Gresley Full brake, kit 144. The kit covers several diagrams, which all had similar but quite distinct features. Type 1 with narrow panels and GNR guards lookout: ECJS diagrams 35,38,39,39A, GN/NE J13,J18, GNR 286,287 Type 2 with wide panels and NER steel guards lookout: ECJS diagram 39B Type 3 with wide panels and GNR style ducket: diagrams ECJS 39C, 39E, GNR 308 Type 4 with narrow panels and NER steel ducket: diagrams ECJS 34A Carriages 109 ( diagram 38) and 135 (diagram 39E) were modified with windows for the Royal Train. As the carriages are all slightly different, this almost counts as 6 different kits, requiring a choice at purchase for the correct diagram. Always happy to chat if you need a pointer to choose the right ones. Visit my web shop for more details and to order Isinglass Models
