    Ring Narrow Planet to explain what you need ifnecessary- I have had plates in 009, 3mm and 4mm- they actually undestand what you need. Steve

    No idea what RH and Co means. GKN- Guest Keen and Nettlefold were the casting company which made these chairs for the GWR-marked 6-40. Steve

    I have managed to mostly avoid Essex and can appreciate your reluctance to return. The county promo The only way is Essex does nothing to encourage me to visit.Tfic Steve

    Would be very interesting to learn the prices- are they Scenix or Bachmann/Scaledale level? Steve

    You really have to understand how China works. Having dealt with them over several years and visited once- these factories churn out thousands of products a day for many customers worldwide. If your order is for$50000 and you are promised a production slot- then someone else comes along with an order for $60,000 then guess who gets the slot? Only when a container is booked on to a ship can you be reasonably confident that its on its way- provided there isn't a fire!! Steve

    The production sample seen at Ilton and Shepton Mallet drew no such remarks so the consensus is that it is just about right- I can't remember 1935 in detail so I will just enjoy my locomotive when it arrives. Steve

    Had copies at Platform Models and Bournemouth Model Railway exhibition so it may be specific sites have been targeted

    From what I heard the container was being loaded ten days ago which would mean despatch from China before Chinese New Year which if missed could delay nearly a month Steve

    New Bagnal and Scargoey(hope that's right or the trolls will get me ) plus Roco and 3D printed on Kato chassis. Modified 3mm brake van plus coaches by Peco,Egger, Parkside and Roco- does that make me a Phillistine? No it makes me a modeller! Layouts in 3mm- published twice in RM,exhibited twice at Warley, 4mm awaiting detailing and 009 just for the hell of it!!! I have never had a roundy roundy layout before so I will make one in 009. Am I a bad person? No-Just a modeller. Steve

    I would echo that sentimentSteve

    Don't think anyone called Jeremey will get the job

    Tesco sell Whitefurze 9/10 litre boxes which stack with R/U for £4 Steve

    Bought one today- one word-Fantastic

    Actually from 1 meter is the norm. Mostly demanded by various UK and HK based companies- has to withstand the rigors of delivery by various courier companies(loose term) attempts at destroying the contents. You have to see it to believe what some attempt to deliver.

    Suggest looking at Cambridge Custom Transfers site- most if not all can be produced in 3mm scale. Write to S/H trader of 3mm Society- ask him if he has what you want - AGM at Swindon in a week or so worth making the effort. Satisfied 3mm member for many years see my blog below. Good luck Steve
