I need to find a firm where I can get Name & Number plates from. Don't say Alan Briggs. I've tried the site & the site tried to infect my computer with viruses. Also, Alan Briggs doesn't supply the kind I want. Please help me. If you don't, I'll get on my knees & beg

The only drawback is the wait but of course they do have to get enough orders to justify going for etching but the designs look good.

I'll let you know about the finished product when I get mine (due January)

I've just put an order through. It is quite confusing as you have to state the height. It should just have a drop down menu with scales in it instead of faffing about with heights

16mm is a new venture for them so they want hight to comfirm the scale as they look huge compared to their oo creations. my order was for 9mm high which will suit the mamods they are for.

Mine are for my scratch built loco called 'Pete' which has proved to be much more usable than my first loco (Meldrew) but has proved also to be very unreliable but that issue's being addressed as we speak

Do you have any photos? What's caused the unreliability?

Hancockshire · Post by **Hancockshire** » Wed Dec 29, 2010 4:54 pm

No photos. Unreliable because the glue that kept the motor in had perished & it caused the gears to slip on a very slight gradient. Anyway, a better motor is being fitted. I'm working on a video that shows the engine breaking down at an open day & it had to be rescued twice

. At least the engine has a reverse & can go over level crossings & points

Mine haven't yet. I haven't even got the email to confirm the payment

They do take a while to produce be ready for a wait. I would suggest you email them to get an aproxamate delivery date and acknowledge payment.

I'll wait. I'm good at waiting

Sir Clothem Cap · Post by **Sir Clothem Cap** » Fri Dec 31, 2010 2:13 pm

I'm glad about that it took a couple of months but they are very professional

Hancockshire · Post by **Hancockshire** » Fri Dec 31, 2010 2:19 pm

Any pictures?

Sir Clothem Cap · Post by **Sir Clothem Cap** » Fri Dec 31, 2010 2:20 pm

I went for the non painted and have just put the red background on mine. Once it's dry and cleaned off I'll take a photo.
