November

Apologies for any interruption to the service recently. The website sales list update was delayed by a problem with my web hosting company which has now been taken over by TalkTalk. As part of their 'improved service' I was unable to gain access to the site, with no timescales available to fix the problem. As a result I have now relocated to a more reliable hosting company, so hopefully no more interruptions! New sales list now available G1 Models for Sale pdf list . More to come shortly...

Please note that the new website will take a little time to be recognised by all the broadband service providers, but all should be updated in due course.

I will have my usual table at the G1MRA AGM at Stoneleigh on 3rd .December and look forward to greeting customers and friends where there should be a table full of various G1 delights!
