19/11/2008: As a result of enquiries into our narrow gauge products, we are looking at extending our range to cover further prototypes. We are looking at both further minimum gauge vehicles to complement our existing 7mm Ravenglass & Eskdale Railway kits.
We have also had a number of requests for narrow gauge models of North Wales quarry railways in 1/32 scale. This utilises gauge 1 figures and the gauge of EM or P4 and is midway between O-16.5 (7mm) and SM32. Should this be of interest, please get in touch (details at bottom of page).
05/09/2008: We are pleased to announce a new extension to the range is 4mm scale (009) Talyllyn Railway carriage lettering (NG08/009). This is equally suitable for freelance modellers in 009. These are pushing the boundaries of a screen printer's art, and have 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. Should these prove popular, further introductions are planned for other narrow gauge vehicles.
After much preparation behind the scenes, pre-nationalisation 4mm (00) scale locomotive transfers will be available this month. We now have large stocks of GWR, LMS & LNER locomotive insignia. These are now available at £3.85, £4.85 & £3.85 respectively. For Southern Railway modellers, Maunsell yellow lettering and numbers are expected later, having been delayed from earlier release by technical difficulties.
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.
24/07/2008: 7mm scale transfers for BR 13T high goods vehicles in post 1965 livery (7752) are back in stock.
21/06/2008: We are pleased to announce the reintroduction of Duffield Bank / Ravenglass & Eskdale Railway vehicles in 7mm scale, running on 9mm track. These etched brass kits include a saloon coach, luggage van and ICL No 1 locomotive. Prices are £25 each for the coach and van, and £20 for the locomotive. The coach and van include bogies and wheels; ICL No 1 is intended to fit on the Bachmann U36B chassis. These were last available in the mid-1990s and provide an excellent introduction into modelling these railways at this scale.
02/04/2008: As the result of significant interest, a limited edition production run of waterslide transfers for Highland Railway locomotive insignia should be available late 2008. 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 are unused and have been stored in archives since 1909! Currently it is intended to produce these sets in 7¼", 5", 2½", 1 & 0 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 will be a strictly limited production run.
01/01/2008: We have acquired the Jackson Evans range of 4mm scale etched smokebox numberplates, for both LMS and BR eras. These are essential for any locomotive modeller in 4mm scale and we are glad to help maintain availability of supply. It is taking a little time to organise the stock (over 1500 items in the range), but preliminary lists are now available.
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.
