Title: Meridian Models
Post by: berryr99 on May 26, 2015, 19:22
I have just checked on Meridian Models website to see they ceased to trade on 18th May. It looks as though their products will continue to be available though.

I was after some Short Loco couplers and now not sure where to look for them.

Does anyone have any ideas ?

Thanks

Bob,
It has been reported elsewhere that Pete Wilson has retired from Meridian Models, but we are assured that the products will become available again in the future from the new owner(s).

I'm afraid you will just have to wait until the new owner(s) of the various  Meridian's kits and parts make themselves known and resume production.

If it is the Greenwich couplings that you need Robert these are not part of Meridian Models.

They are (and always have been) produced by the Greenwich & District Narrow Gauge Railway Society.

They are available from Nigel Lawton, KB Scale and Parkside Dundas. Here are the links to these three:

Thanks Brian but I want the Meridian Models couplings for the locos. As a last resort I can use a modified Greenwich coupling but I'd prefer the Meridian ones

Hello All,

Just wondering if anyone had an update on the short loco couplers that Meridian Models used to produce - has a new party started to produce them yet ?

Thanks
