May 10, 2016 - I would first like to say Thank You to everyone who came out to the Vancouver Island Spring Model Railroad Show 2016 in Nanaimo! It was a great show and it was so nice to meet with so many people who are passionate about British trains! I can't believe it's already less then 3 weeks until our next show in Victoria! It's been busy here since we got back! A shipment from Hornby arrived on the first day (Welcome Home Eh!). We have this now unpacked and I am getting all the new items added to the website along with updating some previously sold out items such as the R3336 Flying Scotsman. If you have looked at our Hornby Steam Locomotives page over the last couple of days you may have noticed two new models... We have in stock the Hornby R3339 LMS Coronation 4-6-2 (With Streamlining!) #6229 "Duchess of Hamilton & the Hornby R3338 B1 Thompson 4-6-0 #61310 in BR Apple Green. Both these models were originally exclusives to Hornby.com but were made available to retailers after release but our stock is already running low! Check out the Steam Locomotives page for details!
We have also finished updating the Bachmann Steam Locomotives Page, Diesel Locomotives/ Electric Locomotives/ DMU/ & EMU Page & Coaches Page. These include new items that are in stock along with items that are available for us to order in from Bachmann for you and items on pre order. Bachmann locomotives that are in stock include the BR C Class 0-6-0, BR Midland 1F 0-6-0T, BR 3F Jinty 0-6-0T, BR Class 08, BR Class 20 and more!
On the subject of Bachmann, you may have noticed the prices are lower now as well. With the British Pound at a better exchange rate to the Canadian Dollar as of late we have adjusted the prices of items compared. We have also adjuested the prices for the recent Hornby shipment as well to reflect the exchange rate we paid when we brought them in from England! Some items dropped by $20 to $25 dollars but the R3299 Going Home' 70th Anniversary of the end of WWII Train Pack dropped by almost a full $100! We only have 1 left so act fast if you would like this one (did you know it cames with LMS Black Five #5156 'Ayrshire Yeomanry'). We still have more to update to stay tuned! ............................................................................................................... April 22, 2016 - My how the time has flown by since the last Latest News! First off, we will be attending the Vancouver Island Spring Model Railroad Show 2016 in Nanaimo, BC this coming Sunday. If you are at the show, come by and say Hello! We would love to meet all of you and you can check out all the latest products that have arrived! Also with this, we won't be in the office to answer the phone or emails until our return but we will be back on Tuesday April 26 to business as usual! Speaking of new products, our shipment of Bachmann products has arrived here late last week at Britannia. We have some new BR Mk1 coaches and various Steam & Diesel locomotives and some Scalescene buildings to go with them as well! We will be updating the website next week once we return with all the products. Rapido Trains has annouced, since the last Latest News, that they will be making the GE Dash 8-40CM locomotives with the full wide body and the famous "Draper Taper"! These will be produced in various CN Paint Schemes (including with stripes, North America outline & Website scheme) along with BC Rail units in the Red, White & Blue Scheme. Check out our "Canadian HO" section for more details. Rapido has also advertised that the new Dash 8-40CM models are being designed with "Wife-Approved Pricing!" (that one is all Rapido, credit to them!). With DC Silent at $174.95 and DCC Sound at $264.95 these are sure to be great additions to anyones HO layout! Considering that both the CN and the BC Rail units have travelled far and wide across not only Canada but the United States they really are at home on any layout! So Pre-Order now!
Still with HO, InterMountain are producing the new GE ET44AC in CN's Website Paint Scheme. Prices to come at a later date for the Sound units. Check out our "Canadian HO" Section for more details. Only about 1 month left to Pre-Order your Rapido Trains MLW FA-2 & FPA-2 models & GMD GMD-1 14xx's & 16xx's (the one with the stripes!). Last day is May 24th to Pre-Order. After that you can still order them from Britannia but it'll only be for the ones still left that are ordered for stock.
