Hi Tony The clock faces marked on the sheet are 12 mm in diameter (image of pack attached). I hope this helps. Allan Sankey Scenics

Coach destination boards for Hawkworth stock - just been released for both GWR period and British Railway (Western Region). To view visit www.sankeyscenics.co.uk or click the link below: https://www.sankeyscenics.co.uk/4mm-coach-dest-hawksworth/4594625495 Allan Sankey Scenics

Hi That's not a problem. They can be ordered now - just drop me and email at sankeyscenics@live.co.uk with the details and I can sort this out for you (mixed pack of 18 feet boards and Hawksworth boards). Just let me have the precise details and then I would get back to you with a proof. I include coach seating numbers in the GWR packs although these were not always used and certainly only on express services (to my knowledge). Hope this helps.

Thank you for your edit, whilst it is easy to make assumptions, it is very clear from the coding that this wasn't one of my products. I spend a lot of time doing research to try and get things right unlike the ebayers, etc. who are not particularly bothered so long as they earn some tax free pocket money. On the subject of Hawksworth boards, I have been working on a range of these for both GWR / BR periods, again to the correct dimensions which are shorter and narrower. These will be released in the next few weeks. Thank you Allan

I am not quite sure what boards you have got but the ones that I produce are 72mm long (ie 18 feet in 4mm scales). Allan Sankey Scenics

Many thanks for your kind comments - greatly appreciated! Allan Sankey Scenics

Grimy Times Model Railways has just added 70 weathered locomotives to the sales section of the website at www.grimytimes.co.uk

A quick post to let you know that my colleague Steve of Grimy Times (Weathering Specialist) has just relocated to retail premises. Grimy Times Model Railways took over a long established model railway specialist shop in Warrington, Cheshire. Following a week of extensive renovations, the shop opened for business today. Concentrating on British outline, the shop stocks a wide range of ready to run models and accessories from the main manufacturers. The shop stocks Hornby, Bachmann, Graham Farish, Peco, Modelscene, Gaugemaster, Wills, Ratio, Metcalfe, Sankey Scenics and Geoscenics. In addition a growing range of materials and accessories will be added to stock in the near future. Of course, Steve will still specialise in weathering and custom finished models including renaming and renumbering. An attractive display of locomotives is available for purchase in the new shop. A DCC fitting service is also available Opening times are 10.00 a.m. to 5.30 p.m. each day except Thursdays and Sundays. Grimy Times Model Railways can be found at 187 Orford Lane, Warrington, WA2 7BA.

Hi Dave - Hope you are well. Just recently managed to see the progress of the layout - fantastic and brilliant modelling. Allan

Brilliant attention to detail, I have enjoyed watching the layout's development. Regards Allan

I Have been producing the van posters for over two years now. Each poster is an individual piece of artwork that has been developed following research from photographs,etc. The packs are printed on self adheshive paper and are very easy to weather and distress. I have had a lot of positive feedback about these together with the whole range that can be viewed at www.sankeyscenics.co.uk. Allan Sankey Scenics
