247 Developments wish list nameplates

[Craigw]

I am not sure how many people have noticed, but 247 Developments has recently started a "wishlist" for custom nameplates.

 

I sent him an email about three weeks ago to enquire about some plates I wanted - 4001 "Dogstar", Aberdare 2630, 44XX class 4403, Dean goods 2486 and 1854 class 1738. I received a reply a few hours later saying they were on the list.

 

A few days back his website was updated that the plates were being back and an email confirmed they were ready. 

 

Tonight (my time) I called Gary to pay for them and they will be despatched today.

 

I have always thought that the 247 plates were one of the better ranges but custom plates had been a challenge in the past. Suffice to say that the new service is very impressive indeed. The plates - if they are a standard type - are only normal prices and will be available to others too. A win - win situation.

 

So, in a time when there is so much complaining about a myriad of subjects I really must give a thumbs up to 247.

 

If you have a certain loco you want and the plates are not available then give him a call and you may have them sooner than you thought.

 

Regards,

The previous owner of 247, Errol Surman, was fairly accommodating about custom plates. He produced 31874 for me many years ago.
