84B Oxley Posted February 29, 2020 Share Posted February 29, 2020 Customary brilliant service from Steve, bespoke numbers for a Heljan 47 in 7mm scale. All transfers in view are from Railtec bar the BR emblems. They were supplied in the set but I had already added some from another source.

Craigw Posted March 9, 2020 Share Posted March 9, 2020 I ordered some transfers from Railtec on Sunday afternoon (Australian time) including custom GWR Toad allocations (Didcot). I received an email on Sunday night from Steve, replied and yesterday afternoon I had another email advising my order had been dispatched. Custom transfers turned around in less than 24 hours - that is astonishing. I am a first time customer and I will be back for anything that fits with my chosen era.

ahardy Posted March 17, 2020 Share Posted March 17, 2020 What's the best way to contact you Steve? Looking for some simple numbering to keep me busy. Thanks Andy Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
railtec-models Posted March 17, 2020 Share Posted March 17, 2020 There's now a Skype button on the Contact page. Or the Search box can be used. Or the Waterslide Transfers > Livery / Era / etc. Or the Browse by Theme: https://www.railtec-models.com/themes.php There's one called Single Loco Renumbering which caters for specific loco numbers if one of them isn't already in a pack. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everything is continuing to work as normal at Railtec as the never ending Tetris-esque hamster wheel of researching, measuring, designing new packs, testing and printing marches on. Orders continue to get dispatched same day where it's feasible to do so (i.e. if it's a stock item), although even many "choose your own loco number" custom packs are going out same day too. I'm continuing to try to meet as many people's modelling needs as I possibly can to help keep us all distracted in a positive and productive manner until things blow over. It's certainly not stopping the wood pigeons from gathering on the pergola outside the Railtec window to periodically copulate either. Make of that what you will!

RMweb Gold Happy Hippo Posted March 20, 2020 RMweb Gold Share Posted March 20, 2020 Another vote for the excellent service Steve provides under the Railtec banner. Ordered some custom Toad allocations and a loco renumber, plus some 'off the shelf' stuff on Wednesday. They arrived this morning. Thanks 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
D6775 Posted March 27, 2020 Share Posted March 27, 2020 My 26 has now been finished for over 12 months but this is the first time since its been completed I've been able to get it outside on a bit of a display in the sun. Also in the pictures a recently finished Paul Rolly POA Blackadder, both completed with Steve's transfers. 7 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold The Fatadder Posted April 4, 2020 RMweb Gold Share Posted April 4, 2020 Great service from Railtec (as per usual), emailed a couple of weeks ago asking If there was a possibility of doing the early blue DRS logos without the web address so that I could finish off my model of 37612, had an email on Thursday saying they were now available so placed an order (along with a set of black drs logos for 37607, some custom GWR toad brandings for a pair of Oxford Rail toads and a set of custom numbers for 37057) and they arrived in the post today. fantastic service, just wish the modelling was as quick given the EW&S 37 and the roads are both not ready for transfers yet! Will hopefully get some photos of the 37s up this evening or tomorrow. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold The Fatadder Posted April 4, 2020 RMweb Gold Share Posted April 4, 2020 An evenings work later and yesterday’s transfers have been put to good use. Still have enough to do 37608 in grey should the need arise (and one of the cab side flashes isn’t straight on 607 so I will be using the spare to replace it). as an aside, it’s so helpful Railtec always include a spare! 7 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regards, Mark Until I've made time to re-code the contact form on the web site, just IM me here. That said, feasibility of custom jobs depend entirely on what's being asked. Some modellers are extremely explicit in what they ask for, which vastly increases chance of me being able to help, e.g. - "My Station Name", white, BR font, qty 6, max length 30mm. At the other end of the scale I get moon-on-a-stick type requests to reproduce what might be very ornate markings accompanied with a poor 3/4 angle b/w grainy photo from the 1930s and a "Steve - I'll let you sit down and figure out everything I need from the photo" approach - the required research for which I just don't have the resource for. And everything in between so it's a sliding scale. For very simple alpha numeric requests I did create this custom item a while back: https://www.railtec-models.com/showitem.php?id=3641 ...which gets some people out of a hole.

You have my sympathies ! This precisely why I, as Cambridge Custom Transfers, only managed to offer a bespoke transfer service for a very short period. Most potential commissioners saw me as a free research resource; for instance : - "I would like some lettering for a model of the old van that used to stand at the back of the loco shed at XXXX". Right - have you a photo of the van, or a sketch of the lettering? "No - but I can clearly remember it being there for years - somewhere, there must be a photo". Do you have any idea of what the lettering was, and it's size? "Not really - it was something like STORES VAN or TOOL VAN or MESS VAN" - I'll bet one of the magazines has a photo". Sorry, I only produce authentic transfers - not 'generic' ones. "But surely you can produce something appropriate - they'd sell like hot cakes"? End of conversation!! That is why I forward all enquiries for bespoke transfers to you - you are clearly far more patient than I am! Regards, John Isherwood. 1 1 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Steve, your custom text page states: Quote MUST BE A STANDARD TYPEFACE!, so GWR station names and italicised script are not included. You give "BR font" as an example, above. But what are the 'standard' typefaces, such that GWR is excluded? My interest is in SR. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
