is as follows: I will let you know as soon as I am able to give more exact dates Saturday 23 February 2002 |

Further clarification on the
Creative Master Northcord ALX400. I am able to confirm the following from a
regular correspondent to my site
who has spoken personally with Mr Chan from C.M.N. The mould for the ALX400 is remaining the property of C.M.N. Corgi will only be acting as UK distributor. I suppose it therefore follows that models (Dennis Trident ALX400) appearing in Corgi packaging will have been produced for them by C.M.N. using the C.M.N mould. I hope this clarifies the situation. EFE releases.
