In June we acquired Woodhouse Manor Models from Ken B who has decided to retire from selling toy steam. Some of you will recognise his name on Ebay as 'Kenneth' selling Mamod spare parts but not engines. We wish Ken a happy retirement. This move does give us access to many of the current Mamod spares and new models allowing us to increase the range we offer. Along with this came the name change, we decided to shorten Woodhouse Manor models to just Manor Models. Hope you like it.
It will take some time to change names but until then both MamodParts.com and ManorModels.co.uk will work
Over the next months and years we will continue to expand our range of obsolete toy steam parts but we also want to introduce our own range of engines and accessories.
Our first offering is the wooden two wheel wagon. It is suitable for towing behind either a Mamod traction engine or Wilesco.
We also have two non-steam models based on a Renault type motor car. Very high quality finish.
Wilesco are notoriously bad at meeting deadlines. Their newly released limited edition 60th Anniversary D10 was due in April and finally turned up in June. All the back-orders have now been filled, thanks to everyone for their patience. These are limited edition engines and we presume once they are all gone there will not be another production run. If you are dithering over this I should get in quick.
Lets hope the same sort of delay does not extend to the very long awaited Wilesco Steam lorry. This has been talked about ever since I can remember. The latest information I have is that production will start immediately after their summer holidays (early August) with expected UK deliveries in September. Any updates to that will be added to the website
Production problems at MSS have meant that locos have been slow to arrive, however I have just this week completed filling back-orders and things are now back to normal. I'm desparately trying to convince MSS to produce a few variants, different colours and special editions.
As for my own garden railway, well that is awaiting some serious gardening work, which I hope to complete before the colder weather arrives. When I have something to show I will update the website with a few pictures.
There are many more interesting projects in the pipeline so keep an eye on the website(s) for more information.
In the meantime thank you for your support and if you do have any constructive comments or suggestions do let me know.
