POSTAGE Following the introduction of a new postal pricing structure by Royal Mail, please be aware that postage costs on bulky items (principally Rail, Easitrac and Easitrac Glue) has doubled. Therefore the currently stated rates on the Products Page and in the Annual Stock Listing is now out of date. We are doing our best to bring Rail only orders within the Small Parcel sizing by gently flexing the rail and packing into a shorter casing. However if you are ordering Rail, Easitrac and Glue, it is more than likely that postage and packing will be £6.50 to £10. Please bear this in mind when placing your order.

NEW PRODUCT We are pleased to announce our first 3D printed product. Now in Shop 2: 2-090 Wagon Buffers (3D Printed) - GWR Self Contained £1.20 set 4

IMPORTANT - PAYPAL INSTRUCTIONS BY EMAIL Many years ago, the Association started accepting payment by plastic card. This was especially useful for overseas members who no longer had to visit the bank and get a Sterling Money Order and indeed, many UK members found it convenient too. We did, and still do, only accept shop orders paid by card by original paper instruction. More recently the option of paying by Paypal was introduced and I am aware that, at various times, shopkeepers have accepted email orders from overseas members. This has been purely on an ad-hoc basis and no formal process has been agreed. It was recently agreed by the committee that we should formally accept email instructions for Paypal orders. This option is now available to all members regardless of where you live. Please follow the instructions below to ensure that your order is processed smoothly: • Send your order to one of the three shop email addresses. Each shop order will require a separate order and email. • The heading of your email should be “2mm Order [Your Name] [Your Membership No]” • Use the order generator on the Association website and save as a PDF file. Include the email address relating to your Paypal account in the prefill box. • Attach the PDF to your email. There is no need for any text in the body of the email. • The shopkeeper will assemble your order and generate a Paypal Request Money email. Please respond to this straightaway. • Paypal will transfer the funds and your order will be shipped. Please be conscious that the Shopkeepers, like all Association officers and committee, give their free time to operate this service. A reply to your order may not be immediate. Please also remember that a 2% surcharge is added to all Paypal orders as the Paypal transfer process costs us a fair bit more than that. For this who wish to post an order and pay by card, open cheque or indeed Paypal, you are still more than welcome to do so.
