Harald Brosch at Lasergang just emailed me. It seems a few people took advantage of the cheap Euro exchange rate and ordered a few kits. Harald discovered that plywood prices have gone through the roof, so he revised his prices. He’s also had to change shipping costs to 35.99 Euro for 1 or 2 kits.

The good news is that a coach without seats is 109 Euro (export - no German VAT) with 36 Euro shipping, and 109+36 = 145 Euro = $153.27 shipped. He is also willing to cut one in Styrene instead of wood.

Here’s the full email thread from Harald, complete with a description of the “no openings”. Email him if you want more details.

Thanks for asking

just packed two coaches - they are 4200 gr in total - means I cannot send a single kit for a 2 kg registered letter.

Shipping as parcels with DHL
up to 2 kits - 35,99 Euro
up to 4 kits - 47,99 Euro

Kits without doors or windows:

Someone wanted the kits without openings for the windows in the clerestories.
Other kits - for conversions - are wanted without openings for the doors and windows.
Not engraved - totally missing.
Someone wanted such modifications - okay - I´ve done it.

Have done a few seats of 1 and 2mm polystyrene - works fine.

Therefore - lasering in polystyrene - same prices - is possible from now on.

Tschüß / Bye

Harald,

Still seems like a good deal. Only $115 per kit for the 109 Euro.

Shipping cost is the same ?

And what do you mean by " no door openings" ? Does that mean you provide a one-piece end with a fixed door that can’t be opened? Same for “no window openings” ?

Pete

Moijn, hello

Just got the new prices for the Carter Coaches and Combines.

Only reason for the higher prices is the giant rise in prices for thin plywood
since I have done these kits a few years ago.

New in 2015.11 - I can offer the same prices for kits made of plywood or
polystyrene

And I have some new versions of the kit
See below the signature please

Hi,

Dose anyone know if the price posted is current with all the currency value changes in Europe

Thanks Chuck

Chuck,

If you click on the link in the post you get to the Price List. 165 Euro w/o tax. Unfortunately the euro improved to 1.2, so it will now cost you $185. Still a good price.

I think Harald said the mail cost had gone up too.

Shipping as parcels with DHL
up to 2 kits - 35,99 Euro ($40)
up to 4 kits - 47,99 Euro

Send him an email and ask.

Pete,

Thanks

Chuck
