  1. Assuming 4mm, the customisable item below may be of interest: 4mm-9085 https://www.railtec-models.com/showitem.php?id=4362 Where applicable I make them un/lined or the earlier style with/out the integrated GWR above the number. Here's an example of how they look in the flesh kindly shared by the talented James Wells. As you might notice, I get the mounting bolts in there too. Turn-around time on these is currently 2-3 days.
  2. If it helps, here are the quick links for the less "commercial" scales, all introduced in the past few weeks: https://www.railtec-transfers.com/3mm https://www.railtec-transfers.com/TT https://www.railtec-transfers.com/HO
  3. If, with model in hand, you're able to PM me with the required dimensions of the numbers and arrows (as I'm not sure I have this specific loco on file), it'd take me about 6 minutes to put something together.
  4. Item 9970 generally does this job, if it helps: https://www.railtec-models.com/catalog.php?search_str=9970
  5. The full list of rivets is here: https://www.railtec-models.com/catalog.php?search_str=rivets Obviously at the end of the day the specified gauge can be somewhat arbitrary as a 1" diam rivet in 4mm scale would be approx a 2" diam rivet in 2mm scale. I can happily/easily make more packs of these available and the only two pieces of info I generally need are: - What diam rivets - What distance between centres Once I know that, they're super quick and easy to make.
  6. The Railtec 3mm catalog just has a mere 2300 items in it 😁 https://www.railtec-models.com/3mm ...although not anything suitable for the photo of that steam loco at present. And whilst we're on the topic of the less popular scales, here's the TT catalog: https://www.railtec-models.com/TT @Tony Teague it's difficult (for my northern eye) to determine precisely from the shot of that steam loco, but is it the exact same design as below, or is it a plain yellow shaded green, or something else?
  7. Couple of options. The "Alphabets & Numerals" theme here in the appropriate scale has some ready-made offerings: https://www.railtec-models.com/themes.php OR, assuming (a) you don't really just need single letters but they're to form part of something else, and/or (b) you value your sanity, you can get ready-made custom text of your choice that you can apply in one easy hit. Because life's just too short to be faffing around with lining up single characters like it's still 1978. The option below saves you time, money (because you only pay for what you need), and the end result will often look better: https://www.railtec-models.com/catalog.php?search_str=9971
  8. Ok disclaimer: those who are already waiting on new packs to be carefully researched and designed, or those even waiting on a response - don't shoot me! This hasn't taken 2 hours to put together - more like 20 mins (the joys of sorting out insurance and changing nappies - not customers' but our own little ones have been amongst this morning's joys). The artwork for all these labels was already there - simply not formulated into a pack on their own. I don't know why I hadn't thought of doing this sooner! Hopefully a wide appeal and they should certainly be applicable to @tjf4375's request. 4mm-1050 https://www.railtec-models.com/showitem.php?id=8110
  9. I think I may have existing artwork for these albeit in the context of other, larger packs. Hang on.
  10. If it's non/passenger size numbers you need, then nn-9965 will do the job nicely: https://www.railtec-models.com/catalog.php?search_str=9965 Image for 4mm version 4mm-9965:
  11. Absolutely. The 3d cabside plates, 3d smokebox and 3d shedcodes (for later period) are already available, but something is already in the works to offer a customisable offering for a complete GWR steam loco pack including branding and buffer beam numbers on the same pack or individually too. These will be all made to order but, if the complete BR steam loco packs are anything to go by, I frequently have them on their way sometimes even same day. As for shipping outside of the UK, the UK VAT is taken off at checkout so technically oversea-ers pay less and, whilst the packages are of course labelled correctly for export as I'm obligated to do, my understanding from customers in non-UK territories is that the packages are so small and of such relatively little value that it's pretty rare that they ever catch the attention of local import officers. It may also help that where I have the linguistic capability, I also write "Do not bend" in the target language of the recipient tongue so perhaps they think it's from a native 😄. And there's the missus thinking I'm only fluent in English and Rubbish...
  12. Ok, as requested - for the wider audience here you go. I decided to create 3 new offerings to cover some LSWR & SECR markings (so I'm reliably informed) as well as other Southern bits. Available in 4mm & 7mm, printed in reverse for application to the inside of the glazing: https://www.railtec-models.com/catalog.php?search_str=window+labels Packs 4280, 4281 and 4282 are the ones applicable to the request. 4mm-4282 4mm-4281 4mm-4280 Beautifully spot printed (so no superfluous carrier film) and with perfect print registration.
  13. I believe I may have the info I need courtesy of Wickham Green, but I do appreciate the offer. Watch this space.
  14. The class 68 brake discs are in this pack here: 4mm-2029 https://www.railtec-models.com/showitem.php?id=2672 If it helps, on a similar topic there are also 3d rivets available too which may achieve the effect you're looking for: https://www.railtec-models.com/catalog.php?search_str=rivets
  15. Lovely looking work. Not sure if I had the 45128 Centaur unofficial names available in time for you getting these, but this is available now as well as a bunch more that have very recently been released (45046/113/115/141 and more to follow). All spot printed so none of that superfluous carrier film to have to cut around, full vibrant colours and most of them £3.90 a pack. If it helps, the full list of available class 45 items (incl unofficial names) can be found here, and you can never have too many peaks! https://www.railtec-models.com/railway-fleet-list2.php?veh_class=45 (It's a new way to search that is being developed).
  16. Ok so before I do anything, a disclaimer: I know there are a lot of people waiting for a lot of new packs to be designed and get the full Railtec treatment, some of which have been on the radar for a long time. Some of those modellers may see this thread and think, "Hang on, I asked for something long before this thread came about..." and it may look like I've pushed these JGAs up the queue. Thing is, they'd already been in dev for quite a while and I already had a lot of the artwork on file across other packs anyway. Not all, but a lot. And often, many new packs get logically grouped together so not everything necessarily gets released in the order in which it was asked for. Many of you will know that I don't knock out quick and dirty packs with generic markings (for example the small bodyside detail on these JGAs is different between the 13nnn, 17nnn and 19nnn vehicles), identical looking TOPS panels and identical looking maintenance charts. The railway doesn't look like that, so I design all the bits to look like the real thing so that your models hopefully look like works of art. But it takes time to make the research, quite specialist and tedious graphic design and subsequent testing. But hopefully it's worth it. So now that's out of the way, I've released two new packs which should hopefully nail these DB Schenker JGAs. 4mm-7861 DB Schenker JGA hoppers: https://www.railtec-models.com/showitem.php?id=5786 4mm-7863 yellow hopper guide lines: https://www.railtec-models.com/showitem.php?id=5785 And for those who may wish to simulate the weld lines, pack 4mm-6617: https://www.railtec-models.com/showitem.php?id=3290
  17. Some Railtec products are made to order, but the majority are not. Unless you specifically mean the TT/120 range, in which case yes - at present - those are made to order although they should still normally dispatch within a few days. I just wanted to get a bunch of TT offerings out there sooner rather than later to help develop some of the bigger TT picture. It's all well and good the RTR guys making stuff available but all those after-sales add-ons (not just transfers) that allow people to customise - in my opinion - can really help inject longevity into a hobby. As for VAT, as the Railtec catalog has grown at a rate of ~500 new items a year (and turnover to reflect that), Railtec is already VAT registered, though guess what - I'm consistently that busy that I never had the chance to up all the prices (and still haven't), and given the poo-storm of current and recent events over the past couple of years, it's not in my heart to suddenly up everything by 20% and potentially discourage people from being able to afford something that may transpire to be one of the very few guilty pleasures in life at present. So, specifically in the case of another VAT registered business wishing to re-sell Railtec product, they would/should be able to reclaim the VAT anyway.
  18. All those 500(!) TT packs are already all available to buy now. I'm not even sure if anyone has even got any of the new TT/120 product in hand yet (I only have limited resource and it's usually taken up with the incessant drive to R&D new product rather than read every bit of news), but at least making that line in the sand of 500 packs may allow some modellers to hit the ground running with customisations. Besides "static" packs there are customisable offerings in there, including 3d nameplates with choice of name/background colour that modellers of other scales will likely now be quite familiar with.
  19. Ah, my apologies - I was evidently having a senior moment when I made that earlier post! I believe this is the item you will need: 4mm-3358 https://www.railtec-models.com/showitem.php?id=5188 Having spent a few months in Inverness I crawled all over these with a tape measure so everything should be bang on.
  20. There's a renumber pack below, if this is what you mean? 4mm-2153 https://www.railtec-models.com/showitem.php?id=1328 Gaelic branding pack here: 4mm-3359 https://www.railtec-models.com/showitem.php?id=1858 Does this give you what you need?
  21. Looking great! Based on this request I decided to make a new transfer pack available off-the-shelf to help anybody else (a) not wishing to spend a 1000 quid on the Wrenn loco and/or (b) having to ask the wife to sell one of her shoes. https://www.railtec-models.com/showitem.php?id=5121
  22. There is something in the pipe for this. As many will know, I offer complete steam loco packs for BR early/late crest where you get all the bits for the loco (incl 3d smokebox, 3d shed code & conventional 2d bits), but not yet for any of the Big Four. But thanks to the fantastic help of @Harlequin I believe I have all the info I need to explore a parallel offering for GWR locos. When I get to release this I will also be offering sub-sets of individual bits so people can cherry pick without having to buy more than they need (as everybody loves having to buy large packs just for one element. Not). One of these sub-offerings will be ready-made buffer beam numbers. And as this is Railtec and no longer 1978, the colour rendering will be faultless and the print registration equally bang on so your model will look like it should.
  23. Not a reference piece I have unfortunately. If I have the info then I can possibly make them.
