Why do websites come up as "not working" ? Is it because they have took them off line to up-date/revamp etc.
Being a computer wizard NOT :vista: i dont understand these things

Sorry Jordan I recently got some spares from Model Express and I noticed that on the compliments slip that there was no mention of a website on there, although the website is on the kit box but thats a few years old and it does'nt seem to work anymore; their address is as follows, 6 York Place, Knaresborough, N yorks HG5 OAA tel 01423 860505....

... when I can Dark Side R-T-R for similar money...?!?! :shock: :lol: :lol: :lol:

No, but they do a lot of fairly modern wagons IIRC and I was looking at prices recently :shock: :vista: (MMP, PRMRP etc...)


... just looking, mind..... :scratch: :twisted:

You mean you think MMP wagons are expensive??? Dang! - I've heard everything now! Thats a statement that definitely needs substantiating!!!

No worries; it was a bit of a thread hi-jack anyway...

Hello Everyone
Just a little update, I have sold this Model Express Warship to Phill as an unfinished project on the condition that a made the bogies and stretchers up for Phill. After a bit of friendly pressure from Phill I've finally got them done.. They are fold up etched brass from PRMRP with Slaters wheels.. I'll post a few pictures (excuse mobile phone pics) Phill you can either carry on this thread or move it to your workbench thread either way I'm looking forward to you working wonders with it, I'd still have it in it's box for the next 5 years

Model express were trading at Telford last year & Kettering this year.

Bogies look fine Ross

BTW If anyone is wondering, this loco will be 832 Onslaught in BFYE I think, as this will give me the opportunity to have doublheading blue Warships with my oldest loco 807 Caradoc.

Cheers Phill

Sounds great, BFYE on a Warship does look good..

Looking forward to some pics

 

[rosspeacock]

BFYE sounds good Phill (did you get the bogies ok btw?)
Ross...
