cctransuk Posted July 28, 2020 Author Share Posted July 28, 2020 There have been a number of enquiries about AME transfers, and I have mentioned this to John Talbot. Anyone interested is invited to contact John directly at john@jaatalbot.plus.com . Regards, John Isherwood. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you dont fancy it what about wizard models he seems to take over other small suppliers Please understand that this NOT about me seeking to interfere in John Talbot's intellectual property rights, or in his decisions concerning his former productions. I am merely seeking to distribute, to those who can use them, several thousand castings that were about to be destroyed. PLEASE keep to this subject - indeed, there is little point now in further comment until such time as I am in possession of, and have sorted, the castings. I wanted to let modellers know that the Appleby 4mm. range is not wholly defunct; albeit it will be a case of when they're gone, they're gone.

cctransuk Posted August 6, 2020 Author Share Posted August 6, 2020 (edited) Thanks to John Talbot, I have now received the remaining 4mm. scale etches for raised I C I lettering on ICI bogie limestone hoppers, as produced RTR by Hattons, and in kit form by others. The stock level at present is in excess of 200 etches, and one etch is required per wagon. Hattons still have stocks of the TOPS-era heavily weathered hoppers without ICI lettering; https://www.hattons.co.uk/ici ; these wagons can easily be backdated using the above etches, and my numbering transfers; (see Sheet BL183 at https://www.cctrans.org.uk/products.htm ). The etches are available to purchase at a bargain price of £1.00 per etch, plus just £1.00 P&P for any quantity of etches; the etches will be despatched in a Jiffy-type bag. The etches are sold on a strictly 'first come - first served; when they're gone, they're gone' basis; THERE WILL BE NO MORE! For ordering information, go to https://www.cctrans.org.uk/products.htm . Payment will preferably be via BACS or Paypal; (in the latter case, add 10% of the order plus P&P total to cover the Paypal fee). Written orders with cheques can be accepted, but these orders will be cancelled if all etches are sold prior to receipt. Please include an e-mail address or SAE so that unsuccessful orders can be acknowledged. It is anticipated that these etches will sell out very quickly - please do not delay if you can use them.

cctransuk Posted August 11, 2020 Author Share Posted August 11, 2020 This is a Hattons TOPS era ICI limestone hopper; (still available to purchase); that has been backdated by the addition of Appleby Model Engineering etched ICI lettering and Cambridge Custom Transfers number and owner's plates. The ICI etches and the transfers are both available from https://www.cctrans.org.uk/products.htm John Isherwood. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

cctransuk Posted May 17, 2021 Author Share Posted May 17, 2021 Now that there has been a significant relaxation of Covid restrictions, it will be possible for me to collect the residual stock of castings from John Talbot, of Appleby Model Engineering; sorry for the unavoidable delay. Firstly, I must repeat my request that no-one tries to approach John Talbot directly concerning what follows - John had intended to dispose of, as refuse, what remains of his stock as he has no desire to enter into the work of distributing it; I have persuaded him to allow me to take on that task. I will collect the castings in mid-June, and would hope to be able to post here a list of what is available, and details of how to obtain items, within a month or so of that time. This will be a no-frills service, but prices will reflect that; P&P will be at cost. Please do NOT contact me in the meantime with wish-lists, enquiries, etc., I have no idea of what the residual stock comprises, and I do not have the time or inclination to engage in general chit-chat. What I can tell you is that John was intending to exclude certain items for which he saw no market; one such item is a roof casting to convert the early Hornby HAA hopper into the china variant. I would have thought that this item would be popular with modellers who might wish to obtain cheap HAA models, and convert / detail them into china clay hoppers - what do you think? Let me know by posting here - not via PM or e-mail. Another comment from John indicates that he has very considerable stocks of the specially commissioned paints that he had produced by Phoenix; some (most?) of these paint colours are not available elsewhere. I will list what could be available at a later date, but I would welcome an indication, in this thread, of the extent of the potential market. Paint has to be despatched via courier - Royal Mail will not carry it - so P&P charges would have to reflect this; however, the item price would not be high. Again - please do not contact either John Talbot or me directly; use this thread. I am looking to help John dispose of his considerable asset with the minimum of fuss for all concerned - I will post further information here as soon as it is available. Finally, please pass on the above information to anyone that you know who may be interested, but who does not frequent this list. Regards, John Isherwood. 3 1 3 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Richard_A Posted May 17, 2021 RMweb Gold Share Posted May 17, 2021 I could be in the market for ici hoppers. Best regards Richard Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
leisuresl Posted May 17, 2021 Share Posted May 17, 2021 Hi John, Good news and understandable that you weren't able to do anything sooner. I think John Talbot is right about the roof for the HAA; with a new and accurate model due sometime this year, the market is probably quite limited. I would suspect that some of John's paints will be popular, ISTR hlm doing colours for containers, even with courier costs. Thanks, Mark. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
