RMweb Premium Mallard60022 Posted September 23, 2014 RMweb Premium Share Posted September 23, 2014 Good afternoon. I am commissioning RMLectronices to produce another 4mm SR Yard Lamp. Their existing concrete lamp (very nice indeed) is not quite the same design as the examples in Seaton Junction Yard. These have a metal 'L' shaped tubular lamp bracket attached about two feet from the top and a horizontal telegraph 'hanger' bracket (?) at the top (see pic attached - lamp to right of loco.). I'm needing 5 6 to start with and they will not be expensive. Robert at RML would be delighted if other orders appeared. Phil Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold The Stationmaster Posted September 23, 2014 RMweb Gold Share Posted September 23, 2014 They look rather nice Phil - definitely the 'proper' style for older yard lamps (the sort I reckoned were only there to provide enough light to avoid walking into the pole which carried the lamp).

RMweb Gold gwrrob Posted September 23, 2014 RMweb Gold Share Posted September 23, 2014 I didn't know you get lamps commissioned. Excellent idea Phil and we look forward to seeing the results. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Mallard60022 Posted September 23, 2014 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted September 23, 2014 I didn't know you get lamps commissioned. Excellent idea Phil and we look forward to seeing the results. Robert at RMLectronics is a super bloke. I've had his goodies before and then met him at Shipley on Saturday. It's not really a full commission as he has the parts and just has to do an 'amalgum' to build mine. They really are nicely made products and so easy to install. Paul I'm sure he would consider doing something in 7mm; if you don't ask and all that!! What with some lovely and very suitable telegraph poles being available fromhttp://www.expressmodels.co.uk/acatalog/4mm_Scale_Hand_Made_Telegraph_Poles.html............I'm really pleased.

RMweb Premium Mallard60022 Posted November 1, 2014 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted November 1, 2014 My 'sample' arrived today. It is truly superb and I am delighted. As the item is so good I shall post a couple of photographs. Once I have received the full order I shall post some more, as the lamps are slightly different configurations at the top end! These are 4mm and represent about a 30' post. http://www.rmlectronics.co.uk These lamps are not yet on the web site but could be later I suppose? Robert will be at the Hull Show; well worth looking at the wares. Very satisfied customer. Phil R Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Middlesea John Posted November 4, 2014 Share Posted November 4, 2014 Does this guy do any other Southern stuff or is he just kind of random lamps ? Maybe something to look out for at the Hull show - which is this coming weekend of course (plug intended). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Mallard60022 Posted November 5, 2014 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted November 5, 2014 A super range of lamps including an existing SR one that didn't quite fit my requirements. I shall be saying thank you to him at Hull on Saturday all being well. (plug intended ) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
NERBOB Posted October 12, 2016 Share Posted October 12, 2016 Have recently had an enquiry in relation to these Lamps Phil, and have made some up bespoke for another customer. As we move away from "production runs" and concentrate more on commission work, it has come at a good time. I intend to semi-retire next year so the website will be removed in 12 months time. We always finish our Exhibition year with the Hull Show but I hope to continue to be invited to our local shows; Bridlington, Pickering & Hull Enquiries are always welcome, by email and if there's something specific, such as your lamps, then I'm only too please to help where possible. Other featured work this year has included Midland (differing areas), North Eastern, Strathclyde (Aviemore) and IOW prototypes which have been very well received. Best wishes to all.

Bulleidboy100 Posted November 1, 2016 Share Posted November 1, 2016 That enquiry was probably mine. I contacted Robert and the "sample" has arrived. It really is a beautiful piece of work - five more on the way. I had been looking at yard lamps for a little while and Mallard60022's posting with picture confirmed that this was just what I was looking for. Many thanks.

RMweb Premium Mallard60022 Posted November 3, 2016 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted November 3, 2016 Great news about the further batch of lamps* Robert but sad, however understandable, that you have decided to hang up the web site. I am trying to stay fit for the Hull Show this year; I might get to catch up. I'm so pleased that Bulleidboy has found *these to be 'just right'. Yes they are lovely models and something I just could not have made myself. With luck mine might just be getting 'sited' within a year as the Station Yards will be laid within the next six months or so. Nice comments as well....thank you both., Phil Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bulleidboy100 Posted November 22, 2016 Share Posted November 22, 2016 The five remaining yard lamps arrived - they really are a work of art. They will not be positioned for a while, as I'm concentrating on other things at the moment. I now have three of my Ratio Concrete Platform lamps in place and working - I hope to have the fourth completed tomorrow. They look good, running on a 9v supply with a 1K resistor on each post. I'll try and post a picture tomorrow. Not bad for £1.50each. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bulleidboy100 Posted November 23, 2016 Share Posted November 23, 2016 Ratio SR Concrete Platform Lamps now up and running. I think it was worth the effort? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Mallard60022 Posted November 23, 2016 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted November 23, 2016 SR Concrete Platform Lamps now up and running. I think it was worth the effort? Classic dear boy. Something for me to think about there as SJ had these; some were 'singles'. Phil Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bulleidboy100 Posted November 23, 2016 Share Posted November 23, 2016 Hi Phil - If you need singles, just cut the arm off of one side. I think they are all singles on Corfe Castle Station (See there live web cam - it's on 24/7). Barry Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Mallard60022 Posted February 7, 2017 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted February 7, 2017 Emergency alert. Please remember that this year is the retirement year of Robert Denton of RMLectronics, the manufacturer of the wonderful layout lamps. I was reminded of this today when he sent me some lovely little 'extra' parts (telegraph pots and beams) for my SOSJ yard lamps. There is no longer a website, however there are references on RMW. Just for info. Order now or be too late. The lamp-posts are the doggy's doodahs. Phil Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
