24/06/2010: The former A1 Models Ruston & Hornsby 48DS body kit is now available in 4mm (00) scale. At only £20, this very popular model provides a convenient and economic introduction to etched brass construction. The kit is designed to fit around a Bachmann Dandy Dancer chassis and all parts (buffers, handrail wire etc) other than the chassis are included. This model was marketed jointly with Oakville Models and could be made available for 7mm and gauge 1, subject to demand.
07/04/2010: We are pleased to re-introduce the following. These were formerly produced by Modelmaster and have been out of print for some time:
For further details, please see the 4mm scale and 7mm scale pages.
28/03/2010: Following on the success of narrow gauge transfers for 009, we are printing a similar range for SM32. We hope these to be available from mid April.
Also expected is new stock of 4755 (12T plywood vans), 4790 (GWR Toads) & 4791(further GWR Toads). For our model engineering customers, early British Railways lions in yellow are also expected soon. This design will be available in small, medium and large for all our usual scales (gauges 00, 0 & 1; 2½", 3½", 5" & 7¼" gauge).
22/02/2010: Thank you to all who attended the recent St Albans and Milton Keynes exhibitions and stopped by at our stand. We thoroughly enjoyed these events and hope you did so too.
19/02/2010: We are pleased to announce that the former Jackson Evans 7mm scale (O gauge) range of nameplates and numberplates for locomotives is now available exclusively from Old Time Workshop. The range is in excess of 2500 items, and covers the LNWR, the 'Big 4' (GWR, LMS, LNER & SR), British Rail steam and diesel locomotives. We hope to extend the coverage of pre-grouping, narrow gauge and minor railways when time permits. It will take a little time to compile preliminary lists of names, as this range has been in storage for some years. In the meantime, please email us with your requirements (see base of this page).
08/01/2010: Newly revised numerals for Great Western bufferbeams (GWR06) and BR cabsides (BRY01) are now available in all our usual scales, from 4mm/ft through to the model engineer's scales. As a result, our livery pack for 4mm Great Western locomotives (GWR01/00) has been improved to include these.
As we come to the end of our programme of upgraded artwork for model engineers' transfers, we are looking to extend our coverage of traction engine and road vehicle designs. Whilst we cannot produce dedicated lining sets for every design or suggestion, we would appreciate your comments in order to gauge the needs of the market.
02/12/2009: We are pleased to have resolved our supply issue for standard sized (6"x4") photographic prints and normal service is now resumed for this size.
22/10/2009: The first of the former A1 Models' etched kits are now available from us. These wagon kits cover the main superstructure and require bogies, wheels, buffers and detailing to complete. All have revised instructions, livery & finishing advice etc.
21/08/2009: After a number of technical issues, our Highland Railway locomotive transfers in 5" gauge are now available. Each set contains tender lettering for THE HIGHLAND RAILWAY or THE HIGHLAND RAILWAY (Jones & Drummond eras) and the later H . R, buffer beam numerals and names for the entire Loch class (18 members), Ben Loyal, Ben Alder, Ben-y-Gloe, Thurso Castle, Cawdor Castle and Gordon Castle. These are the results of considerable research and are undoubtedly the most accurate for this era. All known examples of original transfers have been examined and scans of these have been used as the basis for current artwork. The majority were unused and had been stored in archives since 1909!
These are suitable for finishing models made to the Neville Evans designs for 'Loch' and 'Jones Goods' class locomotives featured in the Model Engineer recently. Castings for this model can be obtained from Polly Model Engineering.
Following the successful introduction of our reproduction Hornby trademark transfers for use on pre-war O gauge, we have introduced a range of reproduction parts for restoring antique toys. These include a selection of fine whitemetal castings for use in restoring Hornby products. We have also been fortunate to have acquired a number of original foundry patterns from the former J&E Stevens range dating from the 1880s and 1890s. These relate to a variety of toys, including cap guns, cannons, floor toys, mechanical banks and money boxes.
17/08/2009: We are pleased to re-introduce the following. These were formerly produced by Modelmaster and have been out of print for some time:
For further details, please see the 4mm scale and 7mm scale pages.

This includes 10100 (Fell), D2500 & D2510 (Hudswell Clarke), D2550 (later class 05), D2950 (DY1), D9500 (later class 15) and DS1169 (48DS). We expect the transition to to made over the autumn, and kits should start to be available from mid November.
30/04/2009: Welsh narrow gauge transfers for 009 are now available:
The Talyllyn coach sheet (NG08/009) is pushing the boundaries of a screen printer's art, with gold lettering correctly shaded in 3 further colours. The letters are a mere 1mm in height! Each sheet consists of a pair of each carriage number from 1 to 25, plus the words 'FIRST', 'THIRD' and 'SALOON'.
Also available are: Welsh Highland sheet in 1/32 scale (NG01/1, at £3.90) and slate wagons in 16mm scale (NG03/3, at £2.90).
For larger scale narrow gauge modellers, we can now offer cast 7mm wheelbarrows and quarry tools.
The barrows retail at £2.90 each and the tools (2 mallets, 2 chisels and a pick) at £1.90 a set.
28/08/2008: With the needs of the pre-grouping modeller in mind, we have acquired the former Jackson Evans 4mm range of LNWR name and number plates. This includes names and numbers for over 260 locomotives, representing all popular classes from the Premier Line. We also supply their range of 4mm smokebox numbers, having taken over that range earlier in 2008. Between them these cover approximately 2000 different items and we are glad to help maintain availability of supply. Modelmaster Jackson Evans continue to supply their main range of BR and Big 4 name plates.
I've run out of space! If your thing is vintage and classic cars, take a look at this list, as there may be something of interest. Help me clear some space in my garage.
