Road Transport Images

[graeme02041645]

The Road Transport Images range of 1:76 scale cabs, chassis, bodies, trailers, wheels, and transfers for commercial and military vehicles, which was developed by the late Frank Waller has recently passed to us. 

 

Our intention this year is to get the current range of cabs, vans, bodies, trailers, complete kits, wheels accessories and transfers available to modellers again with further development following on from that. We are indebted to Frank's daughter, Diane, for all the help and support that she has given them during transfer of the business and are determined to maintain and expand Frank’s legacy, such an important asset to 1:76 modellers.  

 

The new business address is 2 Macallan Place, Irvine, North Ayrshire, KA112DN. The website, once up and running, will continue at www.roadtransportimages.com

 

Road Transport Images will be attending a number of shows and exhibitions in 2019. The first two will be:

 

Classic and Vintage Commercial Vehicle Show, Gaydon 8th and 9th June

 

Perth Model Railway Show, Dewars Centre, Perth 29th and 30th June

 

Attached is a copy of the current price list with an order form. Prices remain unchanged, but P&P has been increased to reflect increased postal charges. Orders can currently be placed by post with payment by cheque/PO etc. or by emailing roadtransportimages@gmail.com for payment by Paypal. Once the website is up, ordering will be available through it.

 

In addition, if anyone wants to place an order for collection at Gaydon or Perth, please let us know.

 

Happy modelling!

Graeme and Lorraine McQuaker.

Great news, I want to do a couple of BMC EA vans and was worried with Frank's passing I had missed my chance.

That's really good news. Best of luck for the future with the business.

Excellent news. Very best of fortune with your endeavours.

 

Now, if you could produce a trailer of a car carrying lorry suitable for the late 1960's through to the late 1980's (to complement the cabs/tractors already in the range) you will get my business (and those of many others I think with the recent release of the carflats, and the imminent possibility of a kit for a Cartic 4!!

 

But in reality, I totally realise the re-energisation of the existing range will take precedence. And that alone will be very welcome to so many of us.

I'd have thought the EFE car transporter would be the ideal choice for this. What I would like to see is a BRS Albion Chieftain with Holmes cab somewhat similar to the Bristols. I suggested this several times to Frank but he didnt like the look of them!

Bit late but I wanted to say RTI could not be in better hands. I've followed Graeme's 4mm showmans models for a few years on t'interweb and if anyone can carry on the good work or even give us those hard to source cabs we have never had or lost access to he can. 

 

Please can we have some Volvo FLs the first and 2nd type ! Very similar cabs but the quarter light door glass drops a lot lower on the 2nd version. A gang of 4 cab with optional grilles would be very handy too.

 

Good Luck

Pete
