PLEASE NOTE OUR CHANGE OF DETAILS

Hi Folks,

Yes, I'm still working and supplying the various items which you need to provide more realism on your model railways.

Thank you for all the kind letters about my products and service, it really does make me feel quite humble. Your input is invaluable to the running of my business.

With the deterioration of my eyesight I cannot undertake modelling of any kind but I do have a colleague who can do some of the work that I used to provide. Call me if you are interested.

I have reduced my range but with my redesigned website, you should be able to find out more about the products on offer.

In order to keep my prices lower than my competitors, (By about £5.00 on average). I have listened to your requests and I will still only charge £1.00 Post and Packing per order (UK only) but there will only be 10ml oil and one syringe included with each order for smoke units.

I answer my E-mails each morning and as my post arrives late, I usually post orders the day after receipt.

If you need any help or advice, please call me during normal office hours if possible. I prefer mornings if you can.

Best Wishes,

Harvey

Smoke Generators

Super Smoke Generators

CLEARANCE SALE

Super Smoke units
Seuthe Type 117

Other Smoke Generators - Seuthe Type 117

This unit is designed to produce a smooth wisp of smoke without puffing so is ideal for house chimneys, waiting rooms and signal boxes. It can also be fitted below the track between sleepers to provide steam under a parked locomotive.
Note that this model requires 15 volts to operate
As this unit is made of plastic, it is easy to drill a hole near the base to allow a remote fill or extend the storage capacity.

Fitting a 5mm smoke unit in a narrow or tall chimney - For Advanced Modellers only.

Diesel Exhaust Kit

For the advanced modeller, this kit will provide the most realistic pulsating diesel exhaust that you can imagine. I provide the essential components and you design and prepare the air box to fit them into.
You will need plenty of space inside and the older Lima diesels are probably the best ones to work with.

4mm Scale
Prices: £27.50

Diesel Exhaust Kit
Modern Traction Lighting Kit

Modern Traction Lighting Kit

A two part kit designed for Electric or Diesel Locomotives or Multiple Units.
The marker lights change aspects according to direction of travel with the headlamp switching off when reversing.
Comprising a pair of yellow marker lamps for each end, a pair of red lamps for each end and a powerful white led high intensity lamp for each end.
The kit can be used in one vehicle to correctly light the two ends or split to light the end vehicles in the formation.
See the page opposite for some of the traction units which can be fitted with this kit.

4mm Scale only
Prices: £14.50

N Gauge Coach Lighting Kit

At only £8.75 each these kits allow you to fit the realistic lamps exactly where you want them. I suggest in the centre of each seating group but the choice is yours.
When fitted, the tiny lamps cannot be seen without your eyes being lower than the windows and they produce the most realistic illumination of any lighting kit I have seen. The lighting is evenly distributed and without bright spots.
As the components are very small, they have to be held in place with a cocktail stick when soldering but the finished article will be a pride for ever.
Due to size constraints, I cannot provide a battery operated kit and they do rely pick-ups usually just wiping the axles of each wheel. I provide a micro plug and socket set with each kit to allow more than one coach to be lit from one set of pick-ups.

N Gauge
Prices: £8.75

N Gauge Coach Lighting Kit
Coach Lighting - Pick-ups or DCC

'OO' and 'O' Coach Lighting - Pick-ups or DCC

Available in '00' and '0' gauges these kits are available with Standard, Bright or Ultra lamps.
Standard are an authentic lighting which only show up in the dark or dusk conditions.
Bright are for the extrovert who wants to show the interiors even in broad daylight.
Ultra are the most realistic lighting obtainable where the tiny led's appear to have tiny lamps with a shade fitted. You decide where the lamps are fitted.
All these kits have lamps which have no lens thus removing that unmistakable pool of light which my competitors fail to address. I use a cutting machine to remove lenses from the standard and bright led's.
Components are included in the kit will complete one coach plus full clear instructions and also a micro plug and socket to enable other coaches to use the power from an existing coach already fitted with pick-ups thus reducing drag.
Don't forget that if you light your coaches you should have passengers. Check the page Essental additions for details.

Please state which version you require - Standard; Bright or Ultra

Buildings Lighting Kit - £8.50

With the lenses removed from the 5mm led's the light is no longer focused into a narrow beam and lights the area as a real lamp would.
The kit contains 7 standard and 3 bright led's which will illuminate 7 domestic rooms and 3 shop or pub interiors. If you would like to alter this ratio you only have to ask.
The kit comes complete with self adhesive copper tape, a PP3 battery connector, connecting wires and full clear instructions.
As the led's require very little current and run cool, they are ideal for this purpose.
Paper or Plasticard can be cut and glued to make shades and painted if necessary.
Don't forget that the Seuthe 117 is a working 00/H0 scale chimney that produces a nice wisp of smoke and does not puff.

Buildings Lighting Kit

Church Lighting Kit

Working Oil Lamps

The lamps are fair representations of the oil lamps used in the steam era and roughly resemble the LMS type. The front lamps have a soft yellow glow which is just enough to show it is lit without creating too much attention. See page opposite.
