ALTERNATIVE SUPPLIER - THIN FILES A little while ago we sold out of the 20thou files useful for cleaning between checkrails etc. Whilst we have located a supplier, they are based in Japan and it would not make financial sense to import in bulk due to import taxes. You may wish to use these links to acquire direct youself: http://www.hlj.com/product/gnzfm07/Sup and http://www.hlj.com/product/MNEG-Y2/Sup
NEW PRODUCT - MAGAZINE ARCHIVE The Magazine Archive is now available again in Shop 1, item P-109. This is now on a USB Memory Stick rather than a DVD which means that you can update onto the stick and keep all of the archive together. Available now at £20.
IMPORTANT - SHOP CLOSURE Due to family commitments SHOP 3 will be out of commission for the whole of February 2014. If you are likely to require stock from that shop please place your order as soon as possible.
NEW PRODUCTS GEAR-SETS & WORMS New in Shop 3 item 3-363 metric 21:1 gearset includes brass skew cut gear and two nylatron worms. We are now also stocking replacement M0.25 worms in brass at £2 each. Choose between 1.0mm bore and 1.5mm bore.
PRODUCT CLARIFICATION Easitrac is sold in two pack options. The smaller pack previously shown as "10 Pack" is sufficient to make 1.2m. There are actually 20 sprues in this pack, each containing two panels of six sleepers each. The Shop Lists have been made clearer. The larger pack has enough sleepers to make five times as much; 6 metres of track.
NEW PRODUCTS - BUFFERS You will note the appearance of a number of new wagon buffers in the Shop 2 List. These are a sizable chunk of the ongoing cast brass buffer project. You will recall that the in initial type an RCH 4 rib buffer was released in a high and low quality version. The next seven are all released in the high quality version only and are £4.50 for a sprue which contains 12 buffers. As before, these are priced on the basis that you will get at least eight usable buffers. Having examined a number of samples, I have not found one with less than 11 perfect buffers so far; therefore a bargain!
NEW PRODUCT - SLIDE CHAIRS As an offshoot of a member's personal project, we have an etch of Slide Chairs in Shop 1. Item 1-145 is an etch of 50 chairs that can be used with fully soldered pointwork or for inclusion of soldered strengthening in Easitrac points. Each chair is a single layer with one fold up lug. Just £1 for each etch of 50.
PRICE INCREASE - BUFFER STOPS With an increase from the supplier these items 1-070 to 1-081 are now £2.20 each.

Products and Shops

The 2mm Scale Association operates three mail order shops for members, supplying components and kits for 2mm modelling. (From April 2012 we've reorganised the shops, merging shop 4 with shop 3).

Sales are to members only, addresses of shop keepers and ordering details are supplied to members in the Newsletter.

In addition to the Association products below, we have a list of products available from smaller suppliers, both commercial and member's private projects available here.

There are three shops, arranged by the material supplied.

  • Shop 1 Track components and publications.
  • Shop 2 Freight Rolling Stock.
  • Shop 3 Locomotives, Coaching and Non-Passenger coaching parts.

  • Drop in replacement wheels for some locos are available from January 2010.

  • The Wheel Turning Service can alter the profile on N gauge locomotive wheels to allow many N locomotives to run on 2mm Track.

  • Locomotive Kits; the Class 08 Diesel Shunter and the LMS Standard Black 5 are produced in batches. If you wish to add your name to the next batch, please contact the sales officer who can advise when the next batch may be available, the price and ordering process.

Each shop page has a list of products and its product code. Some products also have an information symbol and/or a camera symbol which can be clicked to reveal further details. If you are interested in how the product pages work, I've written a page about it

 

Finally, the ScaleFour society webpages have a number of "where to get..." pages (opens in new window) with links to numerous interesting sources of bits and pieces.
