Colin Adrian Swain (Mr Wrightlines) is not at all well at the moment.? He is unable to do any casting and his appearance at ExpoNG is doubtful/unlikely.? Could I respectfully suggest you do not contact him for a while as he is concentrating on far more important things than model railways?? If he is at ExpoNG then talk to him by all means - otherwise I would leave it for two to three months. As far as I know Wrightlines has always been Wrightlines.? It was started (35 to 40 years ago?) by Russell Wright (hence the logo a double-bassist with the Bournemouth Philharmonic, taken over by Kay Butler and when she retired? Aidrian.? Adrian (the ABS of ABS Castings) always did the mould-making and castings and things have reverted back to him.? Sinilarly, other brands (like IKB and BEC) reverted to ABS once the originators moved on. Their non-availability leaves many of us frustrated but all we can really do is to wish Aidrian well and hope he gets better as soon as possible.

You are correct Andrew
?
No sooner than I had posted my reply, than I
looked around the web and found that some of the kits which I though had been
done where in fact figments of my imagination.
?
I will have to have a chat to that nice man
who has all the wrightline moulds to see what can be done and just what kits he
is doing.
?
Just out of interest, but what where
wrightlines called before wrightlines, I am sure they took over another model
manufacture before they started or am I just dreaming that as well?
