Hi everyone, we are going to pause shipments on the HS46 woodchip hopper so that we can fix some print quality issues. They do not meet our quality standards.

We received this comment from Pete E.

"The items arrived safe and sound.

In terms of the customer service - it was excellent. I had a bit of difficulty placing an international order on the website and that was sorted out by return of email. The items themselves arrived quickly and were very securely packaged. It was excellent service.

As for the items themselves - four 52' gondolas and a range of trucks - these are superb quality prints. The rendering of detail on the cars is really crisp and the extra details for customer fitting are also very sharply printed. The trucks are, frankly, small works of art and are superior to many rtr products I have seen. These are kits of a very high standard indeed of prototypes that are unavailable readily, especially in the UK." 🇬🇧
