EFE Warehouse Open Day

EFE held the second open day event at their Enfield warehouse today. From reports received, there doesn't appear to have been any previously unannounced models on show, however I'm told the tampo printing demonstration showed the preparation of the forthcoming Bristol NBC Bristol RELL model 25213 using a blank NBC green base model. There were a large selection of stock models on sale for £10 each at the one day event, along with a selection of model seconds in the "scrap yard" and a display of "fleet focus" boards. EFE have posted a video taken at the event on You Tube
