PRESS
RELEASE FROM MR DANNY CHAN The following press release and photographs have been received from Mr Danny Chan: I am proud to announce the creation of a new model-making company, namely Northcord Model Company. This new model-making company has arisen from Creative Master Northcord Limited and I have acquired many of the assets of the former CMNL business. One of the most difficult tasks has been to find suitable production facilities and, having achieved this task, I am pleased to announce that three models should be available for public sale starting in early November 2012. These models will continue to use the former CMNL identification stock codes and the models are as follows : UKBUS1053 : Dennis Trident / ALX400 in the livery of Ensignbus; bus 103 – V479 KJN; production run of 720 pcs. UKBUS9006 : Scania OmniCity in the livery of London United RATP Group; bus SP164 – YP59 OEZ; production run of 600 pcs. UKBUS9010 : Scania OmniCity in the livery of Stagecoach London with special Scania 100 Years branding carried in the advertising panels; bus 15174 – LX10 AUJ; production run of 720 pcs. The first two models will carry Northcord Model Company branding whereas UKBUS9010 will be placed in special packaging under the CMNL name and will come with a Limited Edition certificate. Distribution of these models worldwide will continue to be in the hands of the previous distributors, who will also set the price in their respective countries. In Hong Kong the retail price will be 398HKD. As yet no images of the production models are available but some sample images of the prototype buses on which the models are based are attached. Further information and details will be released when the models have finished their production runs. Danny C. Y. Chan Photographs UKBUS9006 : Scania OmniCity in the livery of London United RATP

REMOVAL
OF PO BOX ADDRESS With effect from 1st October, I am no longer able to offer a PO Box address for correspondence to be sent to. Unfortunately the Royal Mail in their desire to maximise their profits have massively increased their prices over the past two years by a staggering 225%. The best explanation that they have been able to offer me is that they have increased their prices to bring their prices into line with their competitors! Regrettably I am no longer able justify the cost and have therefore cancelled the service. If you need to send me correspondence that cannot be emailed, please email me first and I will supply contact details. CLICK HERE to email me Tuesday 2nd October 2012 |
