STOP PRESS - Major Change to sending Fluxes/Hazardous Products

PLEASE NOTE - 

All Fluxes and other products with a hazard label, MUST now be sent using our courier service with CITY LINK within the UK. This also includes aerosols.

It is now illegal (and a criminal offence) for us to send these products with Royal Mail.

The cost should work out at £5.75 for the first item. This is the cost I actually pay City Link and does not include adding anything for packaging. It is by far the cheapest quote I could find, although still expensive if only buying one item. The next cheapest was over £7 for the first item, and it is therefore important that customers try and wait until they have other items to order, rather than just buying one bottle on its own.

For overseas orders please contact us by email and we will try and find a courier who will transport these items to the respective country, and then get back to you with a quote.

We apologise for this inconvenience but it is out of our hands and I can't risk personally ending up in Court by continuing to send fluxes with Royal Mail.

As a result of these changes, it is likely that we will have to start taking these products to Shows with us once again, in order to give customers an option that does not include this carriage charge. We will examine this when we carry out our review of the show season at the end of June.

Regards.   Pete Llewellyn

Specialists in 'Finescale' Model Railway Trackwork & Components

Upgraded site

We have now completed stage two of the web site development, adding new features and other improvements. For details of these changes please visit the Update Blog or the Using the new web site page under the Information Menu.

Who are we and what do we sell?

C&L Finescale aims to encourage modellers who are unhappy with how the trackwork on their layout looks, to rise to the challenge of building at least some of their own track or pointwork. Our simple method is to glue chairs to sleepers and timbers, rather than soldering rails to copper clad strips, to achieve prototypical looking trackwork that includes chairs and other detail. We want you track to compliment your layout and not to look out of place with highly detailed kit and ready to run locos and rolling stock. We are now able to supply both C&L and Exactoscale track components, along with the latest additions to our range in the form of wheels, gear boxes and wagon chassis and brake gear.

The Carr's range of products covers items for the preparations prior to soldering, solders & fluxes as well as post soldering treatments. The range also includes metal black treatments, scenic items, ballast, baseboard fittings and underlay which compliment the C&L range, and are joined by products from other manufacturers such as Antex (soldering irons, bits & accessories) and Roger Smith's modelling products.
