Hi Tony

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

Hi Allan, 

that’s great news, will be placing an order once they are available

 

Would it be possible to do a pack for the 1947 Cornish Riviera which contained 4 Hawksworth and 5 standard roof boards (plus 2 Hawksworth and 1 standard in the Plymouth section)

 

I like that they are including the coach seating numbers.  (Something I hadn’t realised was a thing)

 

 

can anyone advise, did all trains have these number boards fitted or just those main trains that also would have roof boards.  (I assume a definite no for local M Sets etc)

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

Be slightly wary of these.

 

I believe the prototype boards were 18 feet long equating to 72mm in 4mm scale but the Sankey ones are 69mm long - at least the ones I bought are...

 

This is not just an accuracy problem, it also means that they don't quite sit on the mountings that are moulded onto many RTR coach roofs.

 

When I found this problem I started trying to make my own but I'm still experimenting with fonts, printer resolution and the best paper/card stock to use. E.g.

 

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).

Hi

 

i have used Sankey Scenes for MPD signage for Haymarket.

 

They have a great selection and the signs are very detailed and extremely good quality.

Looking forward to the Show.

Looks like the usual line up of high quality layouts!

Looking forward to the show - pleased that it is back. Always excellent exhibits and a friendly club - well worth a visit!       

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.
