OVERSEAS MODEL RAILROAD SITES
Posted by Anonymous on Thursday, May 23, 2002 10:10 PM
Does anyone know of a good source of Model railway sites in Europe and Asia - including manufacturers' sites which show product lines? I often see adverts which state : Available from your local dealer!
However, when you live a very long way from any good dealer . . .in Australia - it makes it a very expensive journey!
I know that there are several Bachmann sites, although the Chinese one never seems to say anything except: page unavailable. I am sure most manufacturers have their products on show on a home site, but sometimes their company name does not appear to be the same as their brand names - which makes them difficult to source.
Anyone got any good sources of such links?
And also any links to overseas clubs and groups?

We have the same problems in Canada getting British equipment.
If you need British, there are a lot of links in the British Railway Modellers of North America.

A friend of mine and I are modelling a fictional US H0 modular Layout in Germany, but we are using british Semaphores distributed by Peco,UK. Our RR Track is Code 75 Streamline Track from Peco, too. We are only using Peco Electrofrog Turnouts. Our dealer at the Hobbyshopt cannot get all the Items, which we will need, so I asked the Peco Company at Great Britain for Permission to buy in directly order from them. I got the Permission and got a list, of what Peco sells, too, mostly british Brands. I hope the Postal Address will help you.
