From the Captains Log
Hi and hello from CN Collectables.
Windy March as they say, we continue to sort and list. The big news for 2025 is of course our production of many E Flexer Ferries during the year.
We shall make short, medium and large e-flexers and your interest would help us to decide the order of production.
We shall have sample models of each size quite soon.
Recent items now in stock are our Stealth Ships Set 4, and a new production of the type 31s and Zumwalt destroyers.
There are also a lengthy list of used ships which are in the process of listing.
- Welcome to our world of model ships and collectable toys both new and second hand. We are the largest retailer in the world of Triang Minic Ships Modern Series (3) and we have a diminishing amount of stock of many items in the range made between 2002 and 2014.
- We commission and make our own extensive range of CN Collectables ships, submarines, ferries, aircraft and dockyards in 1250 scale, (CNC) and have established a busy programme of new and remastered models. All our current production is in new tooling and has been remastered or updated in many ways. Our ethos is to constantly make the best models we can and at affordable prices, despite the huge increases in cost of raw materials. The site is updated every week to let you know our news.
- In 2022 we began our Triang Minic Series 4 in 1200 scale with life extended versions of the Type 23 frigates and some classic accessories such as the Lifeboat Station, Pier Shelters, lock gates and Ocean Terminals. All of these are designed and manufactured in the UK. In July 2022 our 1200 scale metal Triang Astute Class docked.
- We use recycled packaging where possible.
- We bought the Mountford range a few years ago so there are some railway, aircraft, vehicle and boat items under the TM code. ALL the tooling for this range was thrown away as life expired. We have been able to construct and complete some of the items which we inherited and these are clearly marked as such.
- CN Collectables on eBay is now into its 26th year and continues because it is so easy to use and we can be found all across the World. However you will find that a number of items are cheaper here than on eBay because of their high charges to sellers. They even take a cut of the postage paid. There are also far more items on this website which is now into its 9th year. (About 1000)
- We usually post on Tuesdays and Fridays.
- STEALTH SET FOUR has the ADMIRAL GORSHOV frigate of the Russian Navy, the SHIVALIK class frigate of the Indian navy and the type 055 stealth destroyer of the Chinese navy. New masters, new ships and in metal. Two boxes because they are so big.
- #Computer Caroline is responsible for our site for which we are indebted; respect.
Thanks for your interest, support and friendships.
For UK parcels in December we used tracked 24 or tracked 48hr royal mail service which is a new idea at the local post office. Feedback always welcome. We dont add this information to your order but can access it if you have a worry. Almost all overseas parcels are sent by Tracked service and we do add the tracking numbers to your order once known.
We are posting the orders as fast as we can and in date order. We are sorry not to be attending the Wellow show this month and hope to announce other Wellows and a Theale soon. Our ship show diary has just been published for 2025.
