New website for Graham Farish Poole-era products

According to this post on the N-Gauge Forum, the site is currently not available due to hosting issues, and it's unclear when it will become available again.

Via the N Gauge Forum I was pleased to hear about a new website dedicated to "Poole-era" Graham Farish products,  Thefarishshed.com. It's still very much work-in-progress but contains some useful background history on the company, which was based in the Dorset town of Poole until its takeover by Bachmann around 2001. While many of the Poole-era models were not the most detailed or reliable, they did represent a major part of the British N gauge market for many years and have a certain appeal for many.

As I have an interest in "historical" N gauge models, I have acquired a couple from the Poole era and hope to restore them to working order, and this site should certainly be very useful. Of particular interest to owners of past and more recent Farish models is the section on split gears, which helpfully lists useful sources of parts.
