Perhaps not the best title, as the phrase "winding up" has other connotations, but I wanted to start a new thread to keep the rampant commercialism separate from the tributes to Dave Cleal.
Mainly Trains is now part of Wizard Models Limited, and all the stock, paperwork and computer files have been transferred to their new home.
There are essentially two types of product:
Mainly Trains own products - these will all be continued, and the process of adding them to the Wizard Models website has begun.
Other manufacturers' products - some of these will be kept in stock, and will be added to the Wizard Models website. Others will be sold to exhaustion and then discontinued, so they may appear on the website for a limited period, or I might not bother - keep a close eye on the Bargain Box at exhibitions!
If there is any particular item you are desperate to buy, please let me know and I'll give priority to adding it to the website. For those of you with old printed lists, please note that the some of the prices are now well out of date, so no cheques/postal orders at the old prices please.
I hope to have a lot of items on sale at the Nottingham show this coming weekend, and just about everything by the York show at Easter. Advance orders very welcome...
The domain name www.mainlytrains.co.uk has been lost. The other one, www.mainlytrains.com is now owned by Wizard Models, and a redirect to www.wizardmodels.ltd should soon be in place.
Finally, I would like to thank the Cleal family for their help and hospitality at the weekend, and I hope to keep up the standards that Dave Cleal established over the years.
