Looking on the Peco site at the list of items in the August RM ( Out tomorrow ) I saw the following under "news";
"Including news of the acquisition by Peco of the Parkside range of standard gauge wagon kits in 2mm, 4mm and 7mm scales"
But nothing about the narrow gauge kits. I couldn't find anything else on a brief search of T' interweb.
Wondered if anyone else knew anything??
There is an item on page 714 of the August issue of Railway Modeller which says that Peco have acquired the range of 2/4/7mm standard gauge wagon kits which will be sold under a new "Parkside Models" labels. This follows the retirement of Richard Hollingsworth. Andrew Hastie has retained the range of 009 loco and wagon kits and will continue sell these under the "Dundas Models" label. This is confirmed by his advert on page 43a.
By the way, there is an update on the next Peco L&B coaches on page 718 and also a small item on page 716 about the next deliveries of heljan L&B locos.
Thanks, Busman 683, good to know that the 009 kits will still be available.
Dundas Models are selling the 009 kits from the Kirkcaldy address according to the advert on page 43a of the August Railway Modeller
the pain is, though, that all the 'Parkside Dundas' web sites, bar one, have been deleted, but the links are still open - On my computer, at least, this is causing problems as the 'return' arrow on the browser does not work and I have to reload it.
there is a <dundasmodels.co.uk> website mentioned in the advert, but it does not seem to active, as yet.
If you go to the Parkside Dundas website you will find this message regarding Dundas Models:
Coming soon is our fully illustrated website www.dundasmodels.co.uk or contact us now by email at sales@dundasmodels.co.uk or by telephone on 01592 640896.
Andrew Hastie was at Pewsey on Saturday for his first outing (this time round!) under the Dundas Models banner (older members will remember that the firm started off under this name some 40 or so years ago) and was in very good form. Nothing to worry about if the website isn't up and running yet as he has provided an email address and phone number as above for those who can't wait!
