Edinburgh Junction Posted November 14, 2009 Share Posted November 14, 2009 I have seen around the website, people using little 4mm etched brass headboards for their locomotives, and I was wondering if anyone knows where I can get some? Or if anyone knows who could make me some. All I am after, is just typical ones like 'Compass Tours' or 'The Talisman' etc.... if anyone can help me, that would be great!

Edinburgh Junction Posted November 14, 2009 Author Share Posted November 14, 2009 Thank you ever so much guys! I love the look of the 247 developments ones! So they are actually just plain etched brass, and you place the transfers over the top, and voila! You get a headboard! That sounds really good! Going to have to get some of them!

RMweb Gold gwrrob Posted November 14, 2009 RMweb Gold Share Posted November 14, 2009 Oooo.... do you know which ones? Thats the sort of thing I want, rather than the transfer type.

Not sure whis but if you are going to Warley or Wigan shows Gary (247) will be there Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edinburgh Junction Posted November 14, 2009 Author Share Posted November 14, 2009 Im not going to Warley, nor Wigan, but I go to the MMRS one each year, and 247 was there.... but wasn't looking for headboards then. So I take it the Fox Transfer ones, RRP for ??4.67, are the ethed brass ones with raised lettering? They sound like beasties! The ones im interested in from their range, are 'The Talisman' (dark blue)... but if anyone knows if anyone does etched brass raised lettering for 'Pathfinder Tours' and 'Compass Tours', then any help would be appreciated Your help is much appreciated!
