Hello, 

I'm writing this Friday email a bit earlier than normal, as later today I'm expecting a huge delivery of stock, which will probably take me the rest of the day to unpack and process.

There are three important news items from Train Trax this week:

1. I'll be at the Leeds show on Saturday 22nd & Sunday 23rd October. This is the first time Train Trax has had a stand at an exhibition, so is a bit of an experiment. If you're planning on coming and want to take a look at any particular item, then please do let me know so I can bring it along (no obligation to buy). Otherwise due to space constraints I'm only planning on bringing the most popular items from the website. If you want to collect orders at the show then please place your order as normal and add a note when prompted - I can refund postage after successful collection.

2. If possible this month, place your orders before the 21st. Almost Immediately after the Leeds show I'll be taking a few days off to spend time with family over half term. There will be no despatch between 25th - 30th October inclusive, but you can continue to place orders for me to deal with when I'm back at HQ on the 31st.

3. The third main item of news is the end of September announcements from Japan. They include a special edition E2 series 1000 series Shinkansen 200 series with attractive green livery, a new colour of truss bridge, updated station platforms and the pocket line freight train in black, which should arrive quite soon. See further down this email for more item details and the pre-order links. Apologies - I don't have room to stock the HO items at present!

In other news, the more observant will have noticed that supplies of KATO and KatoUSA parts are beginning to arrive. If you need replacement parts, then send me an email (include the part number if you can find it) and I'll see what I can do. This is a service to modellers, with very little profit for me on each item, but I think it's a great shame when models are underused or thrown away for want of replacement small parts.

I feel the need to remind you that you're receiving this email because you signed up for it at some point, but you're welcome to  update your preferences or unsubscribe from this list if you no longer want it. I take privacy and the security of your data seriously.

If you were wondering, the deliveries due today mainly comprise of restocks of track, accessories and a few buildings. All should be online by the end of Friday. Look out on social media next week for special offers and discounts on some of these items.

This weekend I'll again be heading for my local N Gauge Society meeting on Saturday. I've posted video of last time's T-TRAK layout on Youtube. It's a long video with a few KATO items running!

Kind regards,

Ian
