03/04/2009:    4758 departmental Rudds (4mm scale, to suit Parkside kit PC70) are now back in stock.

03/04/2009:   
Highland Railway locomotive insignia are being printed next week and should be available from the end of this month.  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!  Sets will be available in 7¼", 5", 2½" & 1 gauges.  
To complement this, we intend to produce lining and boiler bands for the Jones II and Drummond I liveries.  Initially in 5" gauge, this could be available in other scales, subject to demand.  Should this be of interest, please reserve your set today as this would be a strictly limited production run.

24/02/2009:    Following the successful re-introduction of our 7mm Ravenglass & Eskdale Railway kits late last year, we can now offer complementary whitemetal 7mm wheelbarrows and quarry tools.   The barrows retail at £2.85 each and the tools (2 mallets, 2 chisels and a pick) at £1.85 a set.

05/02/2009:  In response to requests for scratch building parts for Welsh quarry railways in 1/32 scale, various items should be available shortly.  This should include coverage of the Welsh Highland, Festiniog and Penrhyn railways.
These will utilise Gauge 1 figures and the track gauge of EM or P4 and are between 7mm scale and SM32.


27/11/2008:  
We now supply reproduction 'Hornby' trademark transfers for restoring pre-war O-gauge toys.  These are reproduced by kind permission of Hornby Hobbies Limited.  Suitable transfers for restoring items from the 1934-40 period are HTM5 and these are available at £3.85 for a set of five transfers.

25/11/2008:
 We are pleased to extend our range to provide greater coverage of BR era Parkside Dundas 4mm (OO) kits.  This includes 12T standard and margarine vans (PC07A), Engineering Department Rudds (PC70), 'Vanwide' VEAs with FAT19 suspension (PC76) and 21T mineral & ore hopper wagons (PC77).

Sheet Description
4754 12T BR van diagram 1/208 planked and margarine vans.  PC07A.
4758 BR engineering department 'RUDD' wagons.  PC70.
4763 Ex-GWR 'Beetle' prize cattle wagon (1907 & 1927 builds).  PC64 & PC67.
4764 BR 'Vanwide' VEA with FAT 19 suspension.  PC76.
4765 BR 21T unfitted mineral & ore hopper wagons to diagram 1/146.  PC77.


05/09/2008:  We are pleased to announce a new extension to the range: 4mm scale (009) Talyllyn Railway carriage lettering (NG08/009).  This is equally suitable for freelance modellers in 009.  This 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'.  These are priced at £2.85 per set.
 
After much preparation behind the scenes, pre-nationalisation 4mm (00) scale locomotive transfers are now available.  We now have large stocks of GWR, LMS & LNER locomotive insignia.  These are priced at £3.85, £4.85 & £3.85 respectively.

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 produce the Jackson Evans range of 4mm smokebox numbers, having taken over that range earlier this year.  Between them these cover approximately 2000 different items and
we are glad to help maintain availability of supply.


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.
