Re previous threads, I've approached them, but they aint selling.  However they will occasionally do casting to order.  Currently about to do the armoured train and Schneider.  Worth contacting with requests.

cheers

How much do you reckon a train would be with some carriages?

Chaps

The man behind HLBS is fine fellow called Richard Kemp.  His e-mail is:

no1cooly@yahoo.co.uk

His e-mail to me said:

"Dear Steve

What were you after I'm about to do a limited re-run of the Schneider tnak and Armoured train. Depending on what you want I might be able to cast it at the same time.

All the best
Richard
HLBS"

Time to dig deep chaps!

I've got the tank, managed to buy it before they went to shut down all the great stuff, but the train is a must-have!

We have their train and Schneider... nice pieces.  And a big influence on our pieces.

Now get our train too and have a Battle Royale!  I think the cars can match up with some slight adjustments, so you could probably mix them and get some interesting layouts.

Or battle reds versus the whites!

Not to steal any thunder from HLBSC..as their stuff is grand...and i'd buy their train to just have it...

Our train will be released at enfilade May 23-25 here in the pacific NW.  As soon as I have  full stock (I'm first in line!!!!) I'll post a notice.  But if you see it pop up on our online store, that means its ready!  We usually figure out pricing when we get the first batch, as that's when the invoice shows up for casting  :cry:

We did have first casts in Jan, but decided to go through some design revisions...added a coal pile and storage bin, better smoke stack, more rivets, more details, etc.

More good news is that the model T ambulance, truck and B2 halftrack will all be released at the same time with the train!  

I think Mr. Witchhunter is second in line for the train.  He has to promise to paint it up the day he gets it though and post it for everyone to see!
