No more Brandbright transfers

Hi all,
Brandbright have discontinued their carriage and wagon transfers!

I need to complete my rake of carriages, so this is a major setback...
Does anyone know who else does a NEAR IDENTICAL set of carriage class transfers?
Many thanks,
Jason

I believe that DJB's gold/black and gold/red Festiniog transfers are pretty close (http://www.djbengineering.co.uk/16mm.html) but probably worth checking before ordering.

Gah, I finally rediscovered my part-used pack last week and found I too am nearly out of "THIRD", and a bit low on "FIRST". One of these years I will get the railcar painted and will need transfers... Please let us know how you get on with DJB.

Is this of any help? From my own collection of transfers, this shows the waterslide Brandbright transfers on the left and the rub-down DJB transfers on the right.

All this reminds me that I need some too!

Transfers are an item that I got into the habit of picking up at shows rather than mail ordering, and built up a stock - thanks to this thread I'm reminded that I've missed the last few shows and now, I too, need to replenish!

Cheers Tony, they are seriously close (I'm sure the 3' rule applies here!)
I'll be contacting DJB soon then!

Yup, that's brilliant - ideal. Many thanks for the photo.

GRS do a GWR style set that I think personally is a bit closer to the Brandbright style then the DJB illustrated above, in fact I'll give away a bit of a secret and say that I have one coach in my fleet that has "thirds" from both makers since I ran out of Brandbright Thirds but I wanted to get the coach into service with transfers. Thus far, nobody has noticed!

Would it be ok to post a picture of the carriage in question? DJB have unfortunatly stopped the FR transfers, for now at least (I've been told that it's hoped they'll be back out soon).

You don't happen to have the GRS part number, do you? (Is it NB204AN "GWR style alphanumberic 5mm"?) No worries if you don't have the info.
