Brooklin Blog — diaries

Hello and welcome to this week’s blog. We are fully back into the swing of things now, good job too. We have already started the police cars and are just waiting for the plating to be delivered.

Oooooh it’s Friday the thirteeeeeenth, ooooooohhhhhh…….No, we aren’t superstitious either. Although Neil did walk under a ladder once and hit his head, and he has a black cat. But we are all happy and things are going great here. We are well into production on several models and all of those little kinks are being worked out of the system. Onward!

HAPPY NEW YEAR….yeah it’s a little late but we only came back to work on the 4th. There is no holding us back now, we are already powering through the work. The new BCC Club models are all sprayed and looking pretty, the new ELMo model is ready to go to paint, labels are printed, the casting machines are hot, mince pies are still being scoffed and all traces of...

That’s it, we are outta here!!!! This is the last bit of work for this year, and what a year it has been. So much upheaval, stress and general chaos. 2023 Is looking like being a fresh start for us in so many ways, so enjoy your holidays and make sure you come back next year to see what we are doing. A Merry Ding-a-ling Festive to one and all...

10 DAYS TO GO!!!!!! The big man will be here soon enough. Until then we must get on with work. This week’s work has mainly consisted of emptying out our last storage container and finding space for it here in the factory. We have too much stuff……

Brrrrrrrrrrrrr, it’s a bit nippy outside. GOOD! It is nearly Christmas and it is supposed to be cold. The new factory is a little on the cold side at the moment too but we will take this over a hot, sweltering summers day. Onward!

IT’S CHRIIIIIIIIIIIIISTMAA…..oh no not yet. Too early, right? Well the next set of photos will feature our patented, world-renowned, trend-setting decorations……..If we can find them. We are SURE that we packed them up when we moved. Ah well, on with the blog!

It’s working!!! It’s working!!!!! No, that is what we are doing, we are working. Working. Producing. Making. We are back! Many things are happening. Come see.

That’s it, the final piece of the puzzle has been but into place. Our compressor is here. The thing that has been holding us back for weeks is now on site…….Ok so it isn’t wired in yet and won’t be until Tuesday but at least it is here.

BROOKLIN MODELS IS LOADING. PLEASE WAIT… 96% We are so close to being back up and running. Everything is in place and the staff are all keen to get on with it. We are just waiting on our compressor to be delivered and we are all systems go. HURRY UP WITH THAT COMPRESSOR!!!!!

Hello there and welcome to a more normal (and certainly less stressful) blog. This week sees the end of our total chaos and a move into a more gentle chaos. As you can see in the photos, we are pretty much organised and ready to make a start on producing models. If only the air compressor had been delivered when it was supposed to. As soon as it arrives we...

Greetings dearest reader. We are rapidly approaching the point of producing some models again. Darren’s Pattern Making area, the Assembly area and the office are all set up. We just need to put up some more shelves. So many shelves.
