It is a lovely looking thing - got me started on gathering together a Wemyss rake ( although I have still not finished the brake van re-lettering...)

Quote from: Steven B on April 02, 2026, 09:01:10 AMI've not had replies to any recent requests to resize existing sheets. Shame as there's stuff in OO and TT120 that I need but the N Gauge version doesn't exist.

He does say somewhere that often re-scales are more complicated as he also reworks the colours of logos to simplify the design so the 2mm version isn't just a blurred blob, but most of what I want is simple single colour text.


the ones I'm after are for the Consett Iron Ore hoppers, its just white text and a white symbol, again, available in 4mm and TT but not 2mm.

This will run with the SECR Birdcage stock purchased in the Model Railways Direct sale



It also means it goes into my 'Seeing Double' album

Can anyone help me get in touch with Railtec, I have tried the email address on their website but so far failed. Are there any other options?

Maybe he dont like Capri's ?  ( i do--had 3 )

I ordered some cabside number sets on monday--got immediate reply.  Usually very quick turnaround on those.

Quote from: njee20 on April 01, 2026, 11:58:20 PMTo be clear I've never had any issues ordering from Steve, quite the opposite, and I've placed loads of orders. I did once get OO gauge decals (having ordered N), he replaced them, but with the wrong set, and then got it right third time; he was super apologetic and very responsive.

I don't understand how people manage to get custom stuff from him though!
Hi Nick,

Depends what the custon stuff is.

If it's simple - just use the website section for custom decals

Last things I did were for NCB internal user coaches - Clean workers only, Bath men only, Ambulance plus NCB lettering with Numbering. Got them within 3 weeks.

I've never asked for full custom stuff, just resizing. I harbour no ill feelings, it's great he's busy, just bemusing that the options seem to be "totally ignored" or "uber responsive". It's never really mattered, always either found stuff elsewhere, made it myself, or focused on one of the other 924 projects underway  :doh:

I've asked him to shrink a set of OO CL90 transfers.

I confused matters by asking him to change some of the numbers as he was duplicating the Farish ones. That got an email reply, but nothing then came of it.

I've since used the email link to request a shrink, without renumbering, but never got a reply.

I might try the OO order trick and see what happens, but as I'm in the US that might get in the way.

Regards,

John P
