Tony Cane Posted January 9 Share Posted January 9 Are any of these of use? The larger sheets are HO scale by Faller, the smaller in N scale by Riko. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
greggieboy Posted January 9 Author Share Posted January 9 Hi Tony, thanks for the reply......I must say the larger sheets look very, very similar to the ones I'm after, but the sheets I've had previously were imported from Greece, ( although sold through E-bay ) and didn't have a makers name on......in fact the texture of the sheets are similar to heavy wallpaper.....I presume the ones in your photograph are fairly rigid card if they are by Faller.

Ben Alder Posted January 9 Share Posted January 9 I have used these sheets - for a random embossing pattern they work really well, but fade to a bilious shade of green very quickly. I tried various exposure tests using varnish and UV sprays but all failed. A pity as it was an excellent product - seems to have vanished from ebay now - I do have a couple of sheets left, along with some others of differing finishes but don't want to waste time on using them. What I did with your sheet was scan it and intend to try printing it out on a light fast print printer using 90lb water colour paper to see if I can replicate a pseudo embossed effect, and if that doesn't work do it on a normal, heavier, paper. One of many things waiting their turn in the queue, but I can send you a sheet to experiment with or else my scans - I played around with colours but haven't done anything with them yet. PM me if this is of any use. I don't think it is worth going to the bother of using them as they although. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
greggieboy Posted January 10 Author Share Posted January 10 Hi Ben, thanks for the response. They are actually still available on E-bay but the guy who supplies them (in Greece) will only dispatch them in packs of 16 for £26. As I only need 3 or 4 sheets I didn't want to pay that much money out and have 12 or 13 sheets left in a drawer for ages. Hence the advert here. Thank you for your offer but I will see if I get any more replies on here first if that's ok. You never know.....someone may have 4 sheets lurking somewhere !!!Lol. ( As for the 'light -fade' problem, it seems as long as the sheets are kept out of direct UV light, they hold 90% of their colour. I have some off-cuts that have been in a dark cupboard for about 2 years, and are fine ). Best regards. Greg. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Cane Posted January 10 Share Posted January 10 Hi The sheets are printed on card but it is very thin, 3 sheets stacked together are still less than 1mm thick. Send me a PM if you are still interested. Tony Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
sulzer71 Posted January 10 Share Posted January 10 Did Rails of Sheffield not stock those from Greece? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
greggieboy Posted January 10 Author Share Posted January 10 Not as far as I am aware.....the only outlet I have ever come across was on E-Bay, imported from Greece. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattR Posted January 10 Share Posted January 10 He also sells on Etsy as starboc2. I've bought from him many times. He currently has an 8-sheet pack of that stone for $14.23 (£11.21), but you have to spend at least $18 (£14.14) or he has to cancel the order -- some stipulation from Greek mail for being able to qualify for the tracked shipping. https://www.etsy.com/listing/1465011919/new-8-sheets-landscape-wall-187-ho-scale?click_key=2778ede2fb5f6502f25dac06886536a289145a4e%3A1465011919&click_sum=cc441598&ga_search_query=HO&ref=shop_items_search_40&frs=1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
