Recently white metal castings of the discharge door release handles and mechs for hoppers produced in the BCH/BWH family have been added to all kits. This certainly improves the look of the model and goes a long way to finishing it. Other detail parts are currently being worked on for addition to the kits. More news in the future.

The new issue of AJRM is due for release about the long weekend in June. I look forward to having copies for sale by then and as always you can pre order without a deposit. Available back copies will also be listed. This issue also carries two advertisments for AR Kits. This is the only major external advertising for AR Kits and it is purely for the support of a great modelling magazine. This issue is a little beauty with a story about a great Modeller's Layout and other interesting articles. A magazine for "Modellers". As soon as we have news of the next issue we will advise.

Please note Credit Card Payment is not activated until the day the order leaves AR Kits There appears to be a little confusion with regard to the AR Kits Shopping Cart. When you place an order with AR Kits to buy an item and you use your credit card the transaction through your credit card is not activated until the day the item leaves our office. You will receive an automatic computer generated response to tell you you order has been received but that is all it it "An Acknowledgment" This is in accordance with our policy that no item is paid for until it leaves our control and that there are no up front deposits required. This ensures that if anything happens to me or Barbara and the business has to close no client is not out of pocket. There has been a recent occasion where a cheque was cashed in advance and the modeller was duly compensated for our indiscretion. Accordingly if you the modeller wish to make a purchase and layby the item that will happen but that is purely a "Layby". The item is forwarded as soon as the Layby is completed. Locomotives ordered on layby will be held for one month from the date of order without payment. After that date the item will be returned to stock or offered to another customer who has the item on back order. Any re-order will be at the current price on the day the item is restocked. If a price for AR Kits by DJH is announced and you order the item and there is an oversight in the costings then you are the winner but you will need to get in quick as you can be rest assured the price will quickly change when the oversight is discovered. The current fluctuations in the market are impossible to predict and price are subject to change without notice. Thankyou for visiting the AR Kits Notice Board

While in the past we were relying on the good nature of other manufacturers to infill the gap left from the production of locally available spoked wheels, there was a problem when for whatever reason, he forgot, could not be bothered or could not get supply and did not tell us. That problem has now been sorted and high quality spoked wheels are now available again. The sets are on a shouldered axel which hold the gauge and the axels are blackened brass and are not affected by magnets when uncoupling. We also look forward to seeing the new axels on RP2588 sets when current stocks are diminished.

The NSWGR D55 Class loco kits are now back in stock and as soon as we have the wheels sorted for the 20 Class they will also be available. Nothing changes except the price and that is reflected on the website. It is still reasonable considering what is happening around the world. Yes we have a better exchange rate but it does mean that other countries are paying a higher price for basic raw materials so we are maintaining a fair price.

It is surprising what a month in bed can do or I should say not do. Add into that and put in two shows with stock supplied to two trusted retail outlets, namely Barnes Hobbies and Hobbyland Australia and the RTR cupboard was nearly bare or more the point very sorry. Currently we are working our fingers off getting all stock back up to speed as well as adding new items. More about the new items later. Thanks to all those modellers who wished me well. It does one good to know and understand that there are people out there who care. I must also thank Barbara for her support over the period and I know she went through a heap of stress while I was laid up.
