Hi sales team,
As we don't have a wanted section , do you get offered layouts no longer required by the original owners? I've been on the lookout for a small
( eg:-"Nixne") size layout that will fit in the back of my Smart car.. I live just north of Portsmouth and would travel to at least surrounding counties distance to collect. So if one becomes available, please let me know, if possible.
Thanks,
Tod
Might it be worth also putting a brief note in the News as there plenty of members who do not follow the forum? I've seen a 'wanted' as a letter or similar there before. It was a good while back though.
I hope you find something!
Might also be worth posting on NGRM in their "Wants" section.
The 009 Society sales also sometimes get layouts.
So it may be worth contacting them as well with your needs.
I may be wrong, Brian, but I thought they'd stopped accepting them?
It's true that 009 Sales don't accept unwanted layouts for re-sale - because of logistics, storage issues and the general low value of them, assuming we can sell them at all.
Having said that, we are occasionally offered them. We usually suggest trying to interest local model railway clubs in them, or putting a brief piece in the 009 News (there was one not so long ago), so perhaps worth looking out for something there.
Sorry not to be able to help more, Tod, but should anything suitable come up in the near future we'll try to bear you in mind.
The Sales Team.
