Its been a busy year already one way and another, and we’ll provide further updates on new products soon. If you’re unable to get to Scalefour North, we are at the York Model Railway Show over the easter weekend. We hope to see you at either or both shows!

Well its been a while since we’ve posted anything, but we’ve been busy in the background! One of the summer developments which has taken a while to achieve is putting all the components into an online catalogue, so its easy to find what we do and the price of the items. Weare still developing the website but hopefully this major step forward will help you the customer, as well as ourselves in the office!

Please take a look at the link at your convenience.

Laserglaze Developments

We have an addition to the Laserglaze range too. We have completed tooling for the windows for the Bachmann and Mainline class 03 and 04 diesel shunters. Please note this only covers the original body moulds rather than the current version. The contemporary version is currently one of the work in progress items. We also have in development a window pack to fit the Hornby 2-BIL, further news on these in due course.

Extreme Etchings

With the Class 37 being one of the most popular locomotive types, we are working on a modification kit to provide new roof panels to model the 37/9 variants. We are hoping to release this kit in time for the Warley show in late November. Both single and double exhaust  ports types will be produced, price code TBC.

This weekend we are at the Peterborough show, drop by and say hello!


Closed for essential Workshop Maintenance..

August 12, 2013

..If there’s one thing the recent heavy rain has done (apart from making the grass grow twice as fast as usual!..) it has highlighted the fact that the workshop roof leaks are getting worse!.. and having spent more time mopping up than actually getting anything done this past couple of weeks, the time has come to take action so as a result we will be closed this week and will reopen on Wednesday 21st, please forward any enquiries to brian@shawplan.com or better still, come over to the Midland Railex exhibition at Butterley next weekend (Aug 17/18th) and say hello!..

English Electric Cab Roof Vents

This weekend we are at one of your busiest shows, DEMU Showcase. In the run up to the show we have been working on new products and these cab roof vents are one of the new items we hope to have for showcase.

We’ve designed them so they fold up from a one piece etch which automatically forms two fixing pins to help fix them to the cab roofs.

Come and have a look at these and our other ranges this weekend, we look forward to seeing you there!
