More October news from Train Trax UK - we're back and excited for the coming modelling season!
Back from Japan
Hello again from York. I’m back from Japan. It was great, apart from picking up a horrible bug on the way home. If you fancy a read, I’ve put some notes here: https://traintrax.co.uk/2025/10/21/tokyo-notes. I’d love to hear what resonates with you.
This email has a Japanese theme. North American modellers, I'll try to adjust the emphasis next time!
New arrivals
While I was away, a lot of Japanese stock landed.
While I was away, a lot of Japanese stock landed:
- EH800 locos
- Complete Chuo Line E233 commuter trains
- Retro coach sets in Blue or Brown
- E8 Series Yamagata Shinkansen
- Joban Line E231 commuter trains
- Eizan Electric Railway 900 series in three colours (pretty!)
- EF58 and Hayatama Night train sets.
In stock here in the UK and ready to despatch now.
Find them all (plus more) here: https://traintrax.co.uk/just-arrived-c-27-html.
Hard to choose highlights, though the EH800 locos are a bit special.
Latest announcements
Once my post-travel cold cleared, the early-month announcements went live — see https://traintrax.co.uk/preorders-reserve-them-here-c-51-html further down. New signals among them, for which we've been waiting a while.
NEC show — nearly there
We’ll be at The National Festival of Railway Modelling (the NEC show) in about a month. If there’s something you’d like to see or pick up, let me know and I’ll try to bring it along or set it aside for you. Some poor folk who made assumptions about what we'd have at TINGS went home disappointed.
Seasonal help in York
I’m beginning to think we need some seasonal help for our busy period. If you know someone local to York who’s careful, practical and happy to pitch in with packing, unpacking and customer queries, please feel free to put them in touch. Hours and exact responsibilities can be flexible.
Stock update
Stock levels are good across most lines, with more on the way. If you can’t find something, ask — we’ll try to help.
Best wishes,
Ian & the Train Trax UK team
PS. Running a small business can be tough. Your messages, stories and orders (mostly the orders) keep us going, so thank you!
