The full range of the long awaited and magnificent premier locomotive edition – the  E/36 P2 Class 2-8-2 is now in stock.

Please note all customers who have pre-ordered these stunning limited locomotive editions, you will be notified as soon as we possibly can. We have a very large pre-order list to work through, to process, dispatch, and to delivery, so it may take a little while – PLEASE bear with us. For new customers enquiring about P2 availability, please note that many of the editions are sold out or near to sold out.

As a few of you have noted we did have an initial very small number of P2s delivered a couple of weeks ago which people may have seen at customer running or meets. We did not want to mention this as at the time as we were unable to give an exact delivery date of the main shipment. But finally, as per our heading announcement, we now have some 95% of the range delivered and in stock with the small remaining amount being delivered in approximately 4 to 6 weeks.

As well as this stunning ‘New Arrival’ locomotive edition we also do have many other changes and projects that we are full time working on as well. We will be posting photograph images as soon as we possibly can, and along again with a very large backlog of photos of the stunning E/41 Deltic range, and some of the recent stunning past ranges of the E/42 Patriots. So as said, please be patient with regards this.

Also just a note we are due to be at Sandown Toy Fair on Saturday, 22^nd February, and then a week later at the Gauge 0 Guild Kettering show on Saturday 1^st March. So if you do wish to collect your order there, please do let us know, and we will obviously bring your order with us to Sandown or Kettering for collection for you. PLEASE NOTE we do need to be advised of this though!

We would also like to take the opportunity to provide a personal apology to all our huge clientele of good and loyal customers, and also our new joining customers who have discovered us regarding to the lack of communication in updating business matters and information. Also for the slowdown in web site activity as most of our existing customers are very much used to us posting a regular and full range of information.

Also unfortunately, we have very much fallen behind on our what we are very much known for – our stunning photo images that we usually take. As said please except our sincere apologies regarding these matters. We’re also fully aware because of the quietness and lack of information that’s been posted some of you have had some concerns regarding the future of The Station Master Ltd and ACE Trains Ltd. As most of you where are probably aware, I am the NEW full owner of this magnificent brand-named company.

But please rest assured as we have been extremely busy, as well as completely moving the business just over a year ago now, and which many of you already know this anyway. But with the move we did encounter many problems; but finally everything is up and running and ready to roll as they say.

Most importantly, we’ve been building a huge business plan platform investing in many exciting new projects. Plans for the future are very healthy as you see from the small list of range projects already detailed above. In due course we will be adding to this following our latest business trips to several of our factories abroad. We are now working on some huge project plans which cover some absolute magnificent ranges of locomotives, coaches and wagons. There is so much more to come for our worldwide audience of customers.

Which brings us or should I say a personal note from me (Kev). Mr Steve Guest was a very good friend of mine, and more than just a business colleague. I would like to pay my respect to the very saddened loss as most of you will obviously know now. Steve was such an amazing gentleman, many of you will have known him first hand, and had been with ACE Trains for many years. He imbued a great passion to ACE Trains projects over many years. Many of which may not have even appeared without Steve’s enthusiasm, and quiet and informed research. Such qualities clearly will be missed in manufacturing which came with Steve’s invaluable signature.

In the next coming weeks, we will also be announcing and listing a superb range of new projects including the E/30 Duke and Dukedog Class 4-4-0 loco with a choice of two tenders, the G7 Bogie Hopper Wagon range, a superb, unusual E/41- Special Series Range Class 55 Deltic Diesel Locomotives, which do have some fantastic livery versions included in this. Also, a stunning E/49 Class 76 EM1 Electric Locomotive range, and an absolute iconic stunner and a must for most – the E/57 Achilles class, Lord of Isles single wheeler locomotive – which will be followed up with a huge range of other single wheeled locomotives.

Some of these range editions are actually available in stock now and will be ready to purchase. Within these ranges also do include some very special editions and some also include a limited edition twin loco set. As well as the outstanding ranges mentioned we also have some other FANTASTIC ranges that we will be producing. These will include coach sets and new project wagons!!!!

So please do LOOK out regarding these great new ranges coming. All of this will be announced on the ACE Trains web site, on social media, a large scale advertising programme in the traditional trade, enthusiast and collector press, and in due course newsletters. ACE Trains is well and truly back in town, and now in its 29^th year of operation. Exciting times for the vintage coarse scale 0 gauge sector lay ahead!

Please also note we have had some substantial web site issues. We still do have some areas of problem, but we are undergoing many changes on the web site/s with so many changes in place and will be changing very soon with a complete new front end feature look. But if you do come across any technical problems or feel something is confusing, or you feel would make things easier when ordering, etc., please do let us know via email or call. Obviously we will help and assist with your request as soon as we can.

All comments and concerns are very important to us as we want to make things as easier as possible for you and for the usage of The Stationmaster’s Rooms and ACE Trains web sites.

Best regards and thanks,
Kev and all from The Station Master’s Rooms and ACE Trains.
(And thank you again for all of you for your patience and understanding.)
