Anyone had any contact with the THE ENGINEERS EMPORIUM regarding their locos yet??

Regarding The Egineers Emporium Ex. ME's 5 inch gauge kits. I received an email on 22nd September informing that they will in touch shortley, however no contact as yet to date.

Regarding contact with the Engineers Emporium I have this morning received in the post a nice colourful brochure of their products and a questionnaire to fill in.

They inform me that they have taken over the 5" live steam loco range previously supplied by MW and will shortly be continuing the production of all parts to complete our locomotives.

We have to be patient while they familiarise themselves with the range but they do have previous experience of Winsons range having built many examples.

Hopefully we should all start to resume building our loco's once more

Did it ever happen, apart from the origional questionair no further contact has been received, has everybody given up or taken another route to compleation, failing that scrapped their locos??
