Press Release from Eileen's Emporium print email
Monday, 29 March 2010 00:00

"I am very pleased to tell you that Eileen's Emporium have taken over Bill Bedford models range of etched components and jigs.

It will take a short while to get all the products onto the Eileen's website, so please keep checking.

As part of the take over, Eileen's intends to make all items available from stock as well as improving descriptions and instructions. Clearly this will not happen immediately, but as you would expect, Eileen's website will be open about availability.

All outstanding orders placed with Bill Bedford will be honoured by Bill Bedford. Bill Bedford will continue to supply, his present Locomotive, Loco Frames, MU motorising and Wagon kits as well as the made-to-order coach etches, but these will be under new branding.

A new range of coach kits is also under development. He will make an announcement when his website detailing the new products is up and running.

We have also added more airbrushes to the range including a bargain internal mix, dual action brush with compressor for under £100."

EMGS events are not always just about ‘layouts’. The Society prides itself in maintaining a true Club atmosphere where everyone is welcome. (Be they just visitors, non modellers, beginners or modelling professionals.) It was at expoEM South that it was felt fitting to reward one of our ‘backroom boys’ with a special award for “Services to the Society at expoEM South events over many years”. Dennis had become our dedicated tea boy!! As soon as the hall was avaailable for setting up, Dennis was there with the Tea Urn ready. Seen here (from left to right) Tony Sullivan (expoEM South Manager), Dennis Prince and Chris Kedgley (EMGS Chairman)Those of us busy in preparing for the event always got personal service!

The Best Layout award at the South event was voted for my members of the public and for 2009 went to “Hopeunder- Dinmore constructed by members of the South Hants. MRC.
