Railways Posted June 12, 2020 Share Posted June 12, 2020 (edited) Hi pinheads. Just a heads up that supply of our products is having to go through a transitioninal stage so don't go madly ripping old rails off thinking we may or may not have what you need in stock. The speed bump we have been thrown is Marks work has abruptly announced late last week that they are winding his section up almost immediately due to a global down turn. While Mark is not fazed as he was going to retire this year anyway it will bring an end to him having access to the laser machines etc. We are endeavouring to find a reasonablly priced local 3rd party to help us carry on but this is all subject to costings and what we will have to sell the trinkets for. Thanks for all your support over the last 10+years and we'll hopefully have this resolved in the next month. cheers from Jeff & Mark.:) Edited June 12, 2020 by Railways 29 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ocyen Posted June 12, 2020 Share Posted June 12, 2020 Wishing you guys all the best with finding a new supplier. While I'm sure you will find a competitive rate I doubt it can ever match the Jeff & Mark Special. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Railways Posted June 26, 2020 Author Share Posted June 26, 2020 I'm just bumping this as I've had enquiries for xxx and as much as we'd like to help our hands are tied at the moment making new stuff unless I have what you need in the shed on hand.

Railways Posted October 6, 2020 Author Share Posted October 6, 2020 Just an update and also to bump for the people that missed this thread to start with. Marks work will pull down the roller doors in 10 days time and most of the equipment has been sold or relocated with only one laser cutter left which goes next week. We have managed to find a 3rd party that is willing to help and the pricing is reasonable but prices will have to go up but we are going to try and cap them at 25% increase. See how we go with that one. We've managed to try and stockpile as much as we can in the last couple of months but some of the rarer brands and titles like Zaccaria and atari will have to wait until we can combine a whole lot of different ones onto a single sheet to make it viable for all concerned. That would seem to be the biggest hiccup we envisage. I guess we'll see how our hobby within the hobby goes. cheers Jeff & Mark :) 17 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
