Ding! Ding! Last orders, please!
Our successful third run of GT3s and Palbricks have had one thing in common – they are both becoming endangered species in our warehouse!
It really is time for last orders on both, and for anyone who hasn’t made a purchase of these amazing models, it really will be a last opportunity for some time.
With plenty of new models in production or entering production this year, there are no immediate plans for another run of GT3s for a long while at least. We won’t say never, but it is going to be a while until after we have worked through the queue of our current projects.
The Palbricks too have proven popular, with both the original body and rebuild models dwindling in numbers in our warehouse. There are no models quite like them on the market, and they give some real variety to your wagon fleet to run in your freight trains.
So this is your ‘last orders’ bell ringing to let you know that we are down to our last stocks of all of these models.
“Too late, too late!” will be the cry, when the GT3s and Palbricks have passed you by!
Our Palbrick Models
T
he Palbrick Wagon dates back to the mid-1950s, seeking to replace the ageing brick wagons used by LNER.
Originally medium goods wagons converted to carry pallets of bricks, the The Palbrick B – which our model is of – could carry 16 tons.
Across all of the roughly 1400 Palbrick wagons that were made, all of them had some changes or variations to them that differed from the standard templates.
By the 1960s, most of them had fallen out of use and converted into other types of wagons. Some were converted into match wagons, others into shell case wagons. Our open frame pack represents these later conversions, some of which were very late lasting and were still extant in locations including Crewe and Holyhead into the 1990s.
Add interest even to a modern scene with the frame versions languishing at the end of a siding or as coupling translators for other stock.
Both original body, and later frame conversions are available in triple wagon packs featuring different running numbers.
All versions are available in limited quantities
Just £60 for a triple wagon pack in original or frame rebuild versions

GT3s nearly sold out!
Our award winning GT3 models have proved extremely popular, with each production run selling out quickly. By popular demand we made more, and added some interesting what-if liveries that also proved extremely popular.
But with our third production run close to selling out, we need to give factory production slots to other models. Therefore there are NO IMMEDIATE PLANS FOR ANOTHER BATCH OF GT3 MODELS!
Some versions are already sold out from our warehouse – get your model while you can!
Models available as DCC ready for £199 and DCC sound fitted for £299
