Happy days

However I wonder if brexit has made them a little more expensive... I'm sure the 0.8mm hex head simulated bolts weren't anywhere near 30p each previously..

I don't know anybody else who make's these.

I think that Brexit will only make things more expensive because of the unfavourable pound-dollar exchange rate.

I heard this last week I thought I had died and gone to heaven lol...
I just hope the new sellers are as accommodating as Bob Breslauer was.

Thanks for the link not just for the scale hardware but I've just spent an hour or more flicking through the rest of the site!

Hi, Very impressive as is IMHO the work of Gerald Wingrove as shown in his two books:

Search Results for 'wingrove' - The Crowood Press

Although not of a “railway” orientation, the techniques displayed are informative.

the techniques displayed are informative.

and many are applicable to railway modelling.

Anyone buying from this new supplier of scale hardware be warned the prices have gone up and so has the postage. I placed a trial order for 2 packets of bolts 0.6mm and 0.8mm plus the relevant nuts. On checkout it added a whopping $16 for overseas p&p I'm sure when Bob Breslauer sent stuff it got posted in a small packet for a fraction of that. I await the postman now to see if I get any additional charges applied.

 

[Scale7JB]

I must admit I emailed the new guys to see if the item prices had increased and he was resolute that the prices had remained the same...?

JB.

I don't think the nut prices have changed but I'm pretty sure last time I brought the bolts I only paid $10 a packet these are now $13 & $14. The prices may have gone up before Bob Breslauer stopped trading though and I last brought some of course though. I certainly didn't pay $16 for p&p though as I am now.

Don't forget the exchange rate may be having an effect.

On the GBP equivalent, yes - but not on the base $$$ price!

True.

 

[markjj]

The nut price hasn't changed though just the bolts it seems. I just had an email to say it's on its way not as quick service as the original owner either lol.. I await the card through the door now telling me I need to pay another £15-20 for duty and royal mail service charge...

Mark,

I just checked on an order for four packets of rivets I got a year ago and the P&P charge then was $14.
