Dear Friends, Welcome to our newsletter, Issue No. 3.

OUR WEBSITE WILL BE FULLY UPDATED WITH
ALL NEW OFFERINGS AND PROJECTS
AROUND DECEMBER 20TH 2009.

Thanks to the great efforts of our distributors, the rapid growth or our customer base in six months, coinciding with the arrival of the Brighton Belle, Darstaed has become the fastest growing brand in 3-Rail O Gauge in Britain..

A combination of delivery On Time, keeping our promises and excellent quality at a reasonable price are the main elements responsible for our success. A lot has happened since our last newsletter No 2 three months ago. Our exciting program of new locomotive and coach development continues unabated.

The most exciting news is our plans to produce the first new Darstaed mainline locomotive. Darstaed is very pleased to have obtained the exclusive right with The A1 Locomotive Trust to produce an 0 Gauge, 3-Rail, model of Tornado. You may wish to visit www.a1steam.com

Furthermore, Darstaed has reached agreement with Mr Mike Green of Wynford Classics, to be the manufacturing arm of Darstaed in Somerset, UK where all Tornados and other A1 Peppercorns will be “British Built and Guaranteed”. Darstaed will henceforward manufacture the components for a revised range of Wynford Classics unique style of Victorian engines. www.wynfordclassics.com

The Brighton Belle
The first production run of Brighton Belles is sold out and we are now preparing the second run that will include a 2-R version and will be AC/DC switcheable. Darstaed’s policy of not announcing new products until full production is assured means that new production of the Brighton Belle will only be announced when manufacturing capacity fully permits.
The steam-hauled Pullmans
The steam-hauled Pullmans have proven to be equally successful and five more Pullman sets are now available covering the British Railways Pullman era. At the moment lampshades are being made to be retro fitted on all existing Pullman coaches and Brighton Belle sets. From 1st January 2010 these will be factory fitted. As with all our Pullmans and the Brighton Belle there will be a choice of ivory white roof or pewter grey.

The following eight sets are now available:

The Golden Arrow
The Queen of the Scots
Yorkshire Pullman
Devon Belle
The Torbay Pullman Limited / Bournemouth Belle
The Cunarder
Tees/Tyne Pullman
South Wales Pullman
The price of each set is 395 (+ P&P).
 

Also in preparation are a final set of Pullmans that will include The Sheffield Pullman,
The Thanet Belle and The Kentish Belle, several special “boat trains” including
The Statesman and an Irish Pullman. Darstaed’s evocative Pullman express trains are the most extensive range that has ever been produced by a dedicated O Gauge manufacturer
