That's correct - he doesn't want the "hassle of an online shop" as he put it, but has said that hr might do kits to order if contacted direct.

Well that is a great pitty, but atleast Roy might continue supplying his excellent kits.

Apologies for ressurecting an old thread, but is there an update to this newscast? I was hoping to obtain a near-off the shelf set of loco transfers in the very near future for a project I am workig on

So no hope at all?

That's very sad - next two weeks, I was after a Mamod LMS set though slightly altered for shorter side tanks.
I have found a phone number so when the engine intended for is sorted, I may try that.
Thanks very much!

If your after transfers try lightline. Granted they are very expensive but the quality is superb.

Aye but Locolines did a slab-sheet set for Mamod locos. My idea was to order one of them but wit the tanks shortened to fit the loco in question.
Once I receive it, I'll give the gentleman a call and see what happens.

I beleive it was because he had too many orders, not too little!Keith&Joanna:50426 wrote:May be worth a phone call if you have the contact details, but i believe there was just not enough profit to continue.dougrail:50425 wrote:So no hope at all?

So the question is: is he or isn't he? Maybe it's just temporary barring of the gates to get clearance of the backlog?

Hi,
Apologies for threadbumping but this is I feel a genuine enquiry. I read back here that he may still do transfers if contacted directly. Unfortunatly having found a Wayback of the page [2009..!] I used the email and mobile number suplied only to meet a deadend.
Is there a different email or telephone that might be [semi-publically] available or even a postal address that I could write to - or must I conclude that this avenue is now dead and buried?
Many thanks for help
