th<\/sup> January.\u00a0 He leaves a partner Eve.<\/p>\nHe was another one man band but there are some friends sorting out his business affairs. It will affect some of my kits as Graham cast the whitemetal parts for my Agenoria range of loco kits.<\/p>\n
Brexit \u2013 The gift that keeps giving.<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n There seems to be no end to the delights this is bringing. For a small business like mine its having affects that neither our Government nor the EU will give a damn about but it\u2019s a big thing for me.<\/p>\n
\nFirst delight is a supplier of parts that get used in my kits based in Germany has declined to supply my parts with \u201cwe no longer ship to the UK because of the new VAT rules”.<\/li>\n Second is 29 days into this debacle I\u2019ve not had a single order from an EU customer instead of the usual, approx. 15% of my business.<\/li>\n A customer trying to return something with the couriers trying to charge VAT in both directions, plus their ransom (fee) when he used to pay nothing.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\nHopefully someone will come up with a plan but how many of will still have a business when they do may not be many<\/p>\n
Well, that was all a bit glum so I’ll leave this post there and do another more cheerful one soon.<\/p>\n

<\/a>First comes the sad news that the model railway fraternity have lost a stalwart with Covid19 claiming Graham Jones. That name probably won\u2019t mean a lot to most, but his business might. Northampton Model Railway supplies, or NMRS for short, supplied a lot of detail parts and kits in a variety of scales but mostly in 0.\u00a0 Lots of other kits out there by other manufacturers included NMRS parts or had parts cast for them because Graham was a master of the whitemetal casting art.<\/p>\n
