RMweb Gold Angelus Posted March 2, 2019 RMweb Gold Share Posted March 2, 2019 Another very satisfied customer here. Ordered late Thursday night, woke up to a follow up e-mail for exact numbers and depots, and arrived here in the Outer Rim this morning!

railtec-models Posted March 21, 2019 Share Posted March 21, 2019 With the kind permission of Andy, just a quick note to reiterate what was posted elsewhere on social media the past 48hrs, in that full transfer packs for GBRf's 47s and 50s were released on Tuesday and Wednesday respectively. A number of you have already found them! Of course there was a twist with the GB 50s and the Railtec transfer packs reflect all the correct detail from the outset (of course it helps when you have inside info!) Cl 50 plates/crests are available separately which leverage the 3d waterslide technology. 47749 pack, incl 3d nameplates, 3d builders' plates and revised style fuel gauges. The 3d process got enhanced again a few months ago so if it's been a while since you've seen it, it will have changed slightly. Ditto the standard 2d print - this must be on its 7th iteration of fine-tuning so it's even been refined since the beginning of this year. Of course the above packs are all spot printed so there's no superfluous carrier film to worry about. I'd wager the GB tour this weekend will attract more photters than a Flying Scotsman outing... 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Not Jeremy Posted March 21, 2019 RMweb Gold Share Posted March 21, 2019 About time I contacted Steve for a new project, the GUV lettering looks good... In the meantime, I have (at last) finished lettering two bogie bolster E wagons, having cast the correct bogies for them. Although Steve had supplied me with bolster c lettering, the quality of his work coupled with a few spares on the sheet enabled me to easily make up the Bolster E branding. The E is hiding in this picture. Simon 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Not Jeremy Posted March 22, 2019 RMweb Gold Share Posted March 22, 2019 Well yes, but I was just talking about Steve's nice lettering!! You are both right of course, for a fuller account, rationale etc see https://www.westernthunder.co.uk/index.php?threads/simons-workbench.574/page-60 Bigger buffers would have most visual impact on the wagons, but have you seen the price of Gauge 1 buffers?! Happy lettering! Simon Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris M Posted March 22, 2019 Share Posted March 22, 2019 I just wish Rail tech could find time to do a custom loco set for me. Any idea when they will start doing custom sheeets again? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any idea when they will start doing custom sheeets again? Most customisable packs are still available...? The only thing I can't print is time. Every single week is literally research-design-test-print-eat-sleep-repeat and literally nothing else unless I manage to nip out to get a photo of something on the line. This week has been 15hr days every single day & there are still numerous things on the to-do list just from this week. It's a physical impossibility to cover everything all the time unfortunately. If there's a specific customisable pack you want which isn't in stock then it will re-appear at some point. It's not always possible to say when as priorities often have to evolve on a daily basis, for example when new liveries emerge, when a large manufacturer needs a large batch job pronto, when one of the numerous TOC/FOCs who are kind enough to allow their trademarks to be reproduced want bespoke product last-minute for a retirement gift etc - it's the nature of the beast and the reality of such a niche business. 2 1 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

D6775 Posted March 22, 2019 Share Posted March 22, 2019 If only these train operators would stop painting loco's in fancy liveries! You'll have to get down to Toton soon if what I have seen is right!! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Already seen the Toton "item" I think you're referring to (I'm fortunate in that customers send me all sorts) and it's already in parallel design at Railtec. On a related note I keep meaning to put a shout out that if anyone with the right authority is able to do so, there would be some serious free product on offer for someone who could let me loose in Toton scrap yard and Long Marston, subject to jumping through the required hoops...

Chris M Posted March 22, 2019 Share Posted March 22, 2019 (edited) Sorry, I didn’t intend to sound as though I was being critical in my earlier post. Railtec are deservedly popular and I fully realise that you can only do so much. I say keep up the great work. I’m after a set of transfers for an N gauge D600 so it’s rather niche and won’t be something that loads of others want which logically means it can’t be high priority especially at a time of very high demand. It’s just when you can see someone offering a great service/product compared to others you kind of wish you could make use of the service . Haven't got round to painting it yet anyway.

w124bob Posted March 23, 2019 Share Posted March 23, 2019 Another satisfied customer, order placed Weds pm , arrived Thurs . Railtec and RM, must be some sort of hyperlink between Railtec and RM in Trafford. One set is the fairly new Airpiped brakevan sheet looks excellent , pity my modelling progress isn't Railtec speed!

Flood Posted April 10, 2019 Share Posted April 10, 2019 Just a quick post to say thank you to Steve. Whilst he has not managed to fit in my custom job into his very busy schedule yet he has had the courtesy to email me and say he will look at it as soon as he can. I would email him a thank you but I don't want to clog up his in-box with any superfluous messages. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold BoD Posted April 27, 2019 RMweb Gold Share Posted April 27, 2019 Another very satisfied customer here. i wanted a couple of their decals customised with loco number and they were listed as out of stock. I'm not sure if this is their normal way of working for customised decals but I asked to be notified when they were able to do these. Later that day I received a link to order them. I ordered next morning, within a few minutes I received another email asking which particular locos I wanted them for and the next day the decals arrived. Excellent service. Now to fit them. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mick Boyd Posted May 8, 2019 Share Posted May 8, 2019 Excellent service from Steve once again, I ordered a set of custom decals for my 7mm Class 60 on a Bank Holiday Sunday and they arrived today (Wednesday)-brill! Cheers, Mick. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Locksley Posted June 3, 2019 Share Posted June 3, 2019 I'd just like to add my recommendation and thanks to Steve at Railtec, I ordered his Sentinel set which turned up in super quick time and performed excellently. I'm already scouring the site to see what other decals I can justify to myself 8 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RusselBridge2017 Posted June 6, 2019 Share Posted June 6, 2019 Thank you for the transfers I collected at DEMU, excellent. Further to our discussions in Burton please could you try and offer a SSA scrap wagon set the same as 7mm-8056 but in 4mm, I would like 4 off in 4mm please?
