From the Captains Log
Hi and hello from CN Collectables.
- 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 still have reasonable amount of stock of many items in the range made between 2002 and 2014.
- In 2022 we began 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 also 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.
- 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 24th 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.
- We usually post on Tuesdays and Fridays.
- New models now in stock Stealth Sets 1 and 2, USS midway 1957-66,, 1970, and 1990. HMS Endurance A171, Monarch Cable ship, Iris 1982 CS, USNS Seay Bob Hope Class plus HMS Ocean and RFA Argus.
- New ship Watson Class Military Sealift and more of the Manxman IOM Ferry.
- A selection of used Triang is listed regularly including harbour items as well as ships..
