Dinmore Manor Posted March 2, 2020 Share Posted March 2, 2020 Not been able to find what I'm looking for despite searching. I'm looking for a printed photographic backscene approx 22 inch high, most seem to be 9 or 15", anyone any ideas?! Thanks in advance, Mike Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I think that you are looking at a series of A1 sheets. So take a panoramic photo sequence and get it printed. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Joseph_Pestell Posted March 2, 2020 RMweb Gold Share Posted March 2, 2020 No, I think that is A2 sheets. Should not be difficult to find a local printer to do that for you. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben Alder Posted March 2, 2020 Share Posted March 2, 2020 Have you tried Art printers? John is most accommodating to one off requests and may be able to help you. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Roy Langridge Posted March 3, 2020 RMweb Gold Share Posted March 3, 2020 (edited) Sheet size is not important for some printer shops: width yes, but they can print to rolls of paper and make one continuous print. That is how they can make the “pop-up” banners. I had a planned layout printed 1:1 like that, all 18’ x 2’ of it.

RMweb Gold 55020 Posted March 3, 2020 RMweb Gold Share Posted March 3, 2020 (edited) These guys get really good reviews across the pond. They are pretty responsive to emails, so might be worth asking them for a quote including postage to the UK? https://railroadbackdrops.com/ Steve Edited March 3, 2020 by 55020 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Gwrpannier Posted March 10, 2020 RMweb Gold Share Posted March 10, 2020 Get one printed if you can get a good panoramic photo. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium JimFin Posted March 11, 2020 RMweb Premium Share Posted March 11, 2020 Faller do 500mm - https://www.osbornsmodels.com/faller-photo-backscenes-662-c.asp Alternatively - If you go to - https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Main_Page and search for e.g. harbour panorama or what ever description you are looking for, ideally you need a file >10Mb to get decent resolution and with that a local printer can produce a print of exactly the size you are wanting. The file may need to be cropped and adjusted to suit what you want. I am currently having some printed and bonded onto sign board rather than having to glue anything. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brilliant. He really is excellent - have you thought to have them mounted on card (by him) - I've just spent the day refitting my new/replacements and they are great and so much easier to work with - his std card is very thick and IMHO well worth the extra cost...………….. I will post pictures on my topic /thread next few days...…………. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dinmore Manor Posted March 28, 2020 Author Share Posted March 28, 2020 18ft x 24" on premium poly rather than paper 47 quid delivered. I thought that was pretty good... Mike Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dinmore Manor Posted March 31, 2020 Author Share Posted March 31, 2020 As promised, pictures attached now I've had chance to fit it. Most pleased with it, made a big difference certainly, just the layout isn't anywhere near as complete as it now looks! 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
