Third Rail Chairs - N Gauge 3D printed, pack of 100

I trust you guys aren't going to try gluing these pots to Peco Flexi Track sleepers are you?

Do you anticipate a problem? I've test-laid about 18" of track, maybe 10 pots, glued to the sleepers and not seeing an issue so far. Here's a couple of snaps of my test track with a CEP for reference:

Thank you Neal!

You have had a stroke of luck then because all the Flexi Track sleepers being manufactured today at Peco are moulded in Polyethylene or Polythene and there isn't a glue that melts/fuses it together the same way as e.g 'Plastic weld' reacts to Polystyrene.

All the Peco set track and turnouts however are moulded from HIPS.

Hi
Please add me to the list of interested members - I would be looking for 200 to be sent to the UK

It has been a while since I posted an update here and I apologise for my excessive tardiness.   Between heavy 100+ hour/week "pushes" at my space/tech startup and falling ill with something similar - but not - Covid, I spent about two months out of the picture regarding all things railway, but I'm definitely back on the case again.

Last week I sent a pack of new test chairs out to David and Steve for review, they have both just arrived and I'm sure the guys will provide some feedback, as their time allows.   I'm hopeful that these versions will prove to be the best solution yet and I can then go straight into production for everyone else here - with luck, just in time to be a Xmas stocking filler!

Once ready, I shall trawl this thread (and my PM's) for everyone who has expressed interest and will PM each of you individually to organize orders.

I'm still on-track for a price point of £5 per pack of 100 chairs, and can supply them with either the flat base (for wooden sleepers) or sloped base (for concrete sleepers).

I'm also good to go with the 12 packs for the price of 10 arrangement that I mentioned previously too.

I do need to double-check the latest pricing structure for shipping packages to the UK from the US and will provide info on that as soon as I've got it nailed down.

Cheers,

Ross.

Ross,

I think that you can add me for an order - I'll just need to work out how many I need!  Will confirm.

An entry and picture in the For Sale area would be a good idea

Good suggestion.   I'll check with David & Steve to see if I can use some of their photo's and then get something arranged.

I'd still be happy to be a U.K. point of contact if it would make it cheaper to ship it all in one go and then ship again in the U.K. Never bought from the US of A before so no idea on intercontinental parcel costs!

keep it below £18 (?) inc p/p per shipment, to avoid customs, VAT and RM surcharge.

label it toy train accessories value £1!

Hi
Any news with the possibility of shipping a large amount to the UK and someone dividing these up once here - to save on shipping costs?

[Southerngooner]

Err, read the two posts above?!

Hi Dave
Sorry, my question was not that clear.
You asked about the possibility but I didn't know if you'd managed to progress with the purchasing and importation.
I guess you're still waiting for definite prices.
Put me down as a definite if you are going to proceed, please.

Hi Ken

I'm still waiting for a PM from Ross to say he is ready to produce them (post 1st December) and then we can go from there.

Morning All (Just!),

Please add me in for three packs of wooden sleeper chairs when tallying up the numbers.

Cheers,

Mark
