Despite the drizzle, there's now tulips flowering in my garden so I think I can use the title 'spring' for this newsletter. It's been a long month. A few things to say, with a bit of a North American theme this time. Showtime: I've started preparing for the York Model Railway Show, which is happening in […]

Do you or someone else you know have a strong interest in Railways and/or Modelling? Are you looking for a fulfilling career with a company that aims to have some fun? Do you want to work for an organization that is committed to making a positive impact in our community? In the next few months […]

There's quite a few things I want to update you all on this month. I got a great response to my 10% track offer on Tuesday morning, so I thought I'd experiment and send this update email in the morning too. If you want more frequent offers, then head to the Facebook page.  You may […]

March 2023 already! How did that happen? As mentioned at the end of the last email, there's some new liveries on the way from KatoUSA: The popular N scale SD70Ace with “Nose Headlights” is returning with a new roadname - “Montana Rail Link” and a rerun of Union Pacific’s #1943 “The Spirit”!Montana Rail Link (MRL) is […]

Just a quick update from the new Train Trax HQ this time. I've been away for a few days and have a lot to catch up on! Firstly, the new announcement posters from Kato Japan issued at the end of January: I'll definitely be getting in some of the E6 Shinkansen sets, the Seven Stars […]

It feels like a lot has happened to Train Trax since I last sent an update email! The main thing has been a successful move across the trading estate to new larger premises. All contact details remain the same. I still have a few things to sort out, but it's going to be great having more room. […]

This week I've been making preparations for a big move for Train Trax HQ. I'm staying on the same site, but taking on a much bigger unit which comes unfurnished. It would have been easy to pop along to a Swedish furniture website and get everything I need, but instead I've been sourcing pre-owned shelving, […]

I send best wishes for 2023 to all email subscribers! Two important things to note this time: Firstly, the new and returning N gauge products from KATO Japan announced just before Christmas are now available to pre-order at Train Trax UK. All available to pre-order in the usual place: https://traintrax.co.uk/preorders-reserve-them-here-c-51... Why pre-order? Only a limited quantity of each […]

I found myself going down an internet rabbit-hole and discovered this wonderful image on the New Zealand Archives Flickr site. [From a collection of 'Should Auld Acquaintance Be Forgot' scrapbook of cards, photographs, newspaper clippings and card greetings for Christmas/New Year from various railway stations in New Zealand.] I like the sentiment and thought I’d share […]

This is an extra email from my normal fortnightly updates. There's some important deadlines coming up, and I thought it was worth a reminder: Due to the uncertainty caused by the Royal Mail strikes we encourage customers to order as soon as possible to ensure delivery before Christmas. All couriers are dealing with much higher volumes than […]
