New at Trainspotters in March

Greetings!
February has seen us coming in from the cold with our exciting communist-era East German and Czech factory lighting finally really coming through and hitting the shelves. We've spent 3 months perfecting our refurbishment and wiring technique on the Communist tube lights and we're very excited to be able to finally offer them for sale. We've also been fortunate enough to acquire some fantastic Art-Deco hallstands from Freemasons Hall in the City of London, one of the finest Art-Deco buildings in Britain. Plenty more exciting stock is in the wings and going online over the coming days and weeks....

Communist Tube Light.
We are very excited to have salvaged a factory load of these fantastic 1960's aluminium and glass fluorescent tube lights from a communist era petro-chemical plant in East Germany. The cylindrical glass tubes house twin fluorescent strips mounted on an internal grey powdercoated frame and set in polished aluminium end caps. Rubber seals make these air-tight and water-tight. Supplied completely re-wired and ready to go with all new fluorescent components and bulbs. |
