| 3rd October – We are happy to announce that it is TRRC's 1st anniversary of trading, producing slot cars and kits of cars from the pre-war era. We would like to thank all of our customers for your support over the past year and look forward to continued success so we can release more cars from this great period in motoring history. Some of you will note that we have decided not to pursue the manufacture of BMW Art cars so we can concentrate on pre-war releases.

This brings our total number of planned releases to 27. The plan is to release 9 new cars a year.
