I use a printed Walthgers catalog and the online Walthers shop.
Hi,
Just caught up on this thread, superb structure building.
I was thinking of ordering from Walthers direct as I now need a lot of detail parts to finish Palmetto ie roof details, dumpsters,pallets etc and
even CSX boxcars. I've sourced everything from UK retailers, but now need to order from the US.
Do you find Walthers expensive for postage to Europe?
thanks,
Mal
Mal, I do order engines and other expensive stuff direct from various US dealers (shipping is 30 - 40$) but I do order small parts from Walthers via the German dealer AAT. For UK Walthers lists this one:
Model Junction
916 Yeovil Road
Slough Trading Estate
Berkshire, SL1 4JG
Great Britain
Phone: 01753-528360
Fax: 01753-528360
I think it is a trade off between shipping from US and an "impressive" exchange rate used by your local dealer. My local dealer gets delivery weekly. I have to wait for US parcels 2-4 weeks and have to pick them up at the local customs office (and pay 19%)...
