New at Trainspotters in January
|
Greetings!
January has seen us shaking off the Christmas hangovers and struggling through the wind and snow to bring you more exciting finds. Hot off the press this month are a fabulous pair of Art Deco entranceway wall lanterns and our communist-era factory lighting is really starting to come through strong. Keep a close eye on the website for lots more exciting eastern block lighting coming up, including some amazing bomb-proof fluorescent tube lights.
