The Products
U.K. outline railway modelling is the focus, most of our range is aimed at "OO" 4mm to the foot scale, we also have lots of things for 2mm N-gauge. We produce fine details to add to standard models by Hornby, Bachmann, Graham Farish, Heljan, Lima and Wrenn. Plus many items produced specially for "O" 7mm to the foot scale models, such as kits from Just Like The Real Thing.
Nameplates and numbers, roof destination and headboards, lining and other livery details, for both modern and historic subjects. The details can be made permanent when painting a model, or can be used as removable additions without damaging prized collectibles. We specialise in things you won't find anywhere else and are happy to quote for custom order work including printing your own designs for model decal transfers or labels.
We offer two main formats for precise images that bring to life famous trains:
| |
| |
| |
- self-adhesive labels, a variety of materials including vinyl, waterproof and metallic forms |
|
| |
| |
- water-slide decals, sometimes called transfers, with clear, white or even no carriers
|
| |
Our productions start with real life photographs, manipulated to scale and traced over to create new images. We then employ the best resolution that modern colour printing allows to produce details that are exactly like the real thing, but smaller.
For most items, all you need do is cut around the images with fine scissors or a sharp craft
knife, then remove from the backing sheet and place on the appropriate rolling stock.
Guidance is given on the usage and placement of images, for example what type of coach carried a given name and the running order of Pullman Cars in a Pullman train. Most of our packs include a separate sheet of instructions, with tips such as loosening the backing sheet on self-adhesive labels before cutting out. For our decal orders we provide detailed notes on how to work with paints and get the best results. In case you need more,
our packs usually contain spare copies or alternative images.
