CORONA VIRUS

Please be aware that due to the Coronavirus pandemic, and following the latest government advice, a number of clubs and Societies have decided to cancel their Exhibitions. We will keep our exhibition diary above up to date.

Our mail order service will continue as normal. We are experiencing long delays from some of our suppliers, both etchers and brass casters, many have been closed during the lockdown. Although most are now re-opened, understandably many are experiencing problems with staff shortages due to self isolation, and inefficient working due to social distancing. If an item you order is not in stock we will notify you, and back order it if you wish. Thank you in advance for your patience and understanding. We want to support our customers so we have now temporarily changed our postage charges. UK orders below £30.00 will remain at £2.00 P&P for UK orders above £30.00 will be sent post free.

Website appearance.

Following some changes by WordPress, the original layout and theme for our website pages has been replaced by a default layout. This has resulted in an unsatisfactory presentation of the information on most pages. We are working to rectify this.

Mashima Motors

I have now sold out of Mashima motors and regrettably unable to obtain any more. I am looking into suitable alternatives.
