Me too.  They're the only place I know to get little brass rigging thimbles.  I know they don't show in a lot of places and are 50p each, but I do want to finish off the wire rope rails on my Colin Archer as near prototypically as I can.

They started by selling timber (including some very nice mouldings) to the modelling market but stopped just over a year ago, presumably because it wasn't paying. I assume that, having a name known to the trade, they are reluctant to ditch it and start from scratch. However, you're right; it is confusing.

They have some great and hard to find products, hopefully shipping to America won't be too high.

I think you will find that it was  a health problem which saw the demise of the timber mouldings. He was cutting these himself, but had to stop on doctors orders. Last time I saw them at a show he still had quite a bit of timber, maybe just remaining stock and not enough to put on the web.
