RMweb Gold Metr0Land Posted December 12, 2021 RMweb Gold Share Posted December 12, 2021 I'm having trouble finding transfers for a bauxite BR ex-LMS guards van of this type: https://www.themodelcentre.com/54361-9pre I've tried Railtec, Fox and Modelmaster but unless I'm overlooking something they all seem to do transfers for this earlier type LMS one, not the later BR-built ones https://www.petersspares.com/parkside-models-pc58-lms-20t-goods-brake-van-kit-oo-gauge.ir Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
41516 Posted December 12, 2021 Share Posted December 12, 2021 Modelmaster BR302 includes B950204 which is a BR built 1/503, but that was the unpiped diagram as built. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The image of the van on TMC looks quite different to the Parkside model, though? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The TMC one is this type. AIUI you only do transfers for the earlier van as per Parkside 20 ton Goods Brake Van.

Would the existing pack below fit the bill? 4mm-7310 https://www.railtec-models.com/showitem.php?id=3651 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Metr0Land Posted December 12, 2021 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted December 12, 2021 Yes it would. Afraid all these TOPS designations are 'too modern' for me so I didn't recognise them in the list! I've prob got some more locos to renumber so will add them to a list over the hols. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll add B950204 is on a transparent background, rather than black now I've dug the sheet out. (It was on a list I'd made of what was on the sheet to help me rather than constantly looking things up). 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Search box has its purposes but I'm conscious that the size of the catalog is growing so quickly (474 new line items in 2021 alone so far) that it may not always be immediately intuitive to find what you're looking for via just the search box (or the browse by era, livery or traction type pages), so I can totally understand where you're coming from. A while back I did introduce the concept of "themes" to help bridge the gap: https://www.railtec-models.com/themes.php ...including a "brake van" theme: https://www.railtec-models.com/catalog.php?type=5&gauge=all&theme=50 ...but I have something quite specific up my e-sleeve to hopefully help close the gap even further. Just need to block off a couple of solid days for coding. 31st November one year, perhaps. Edited December 12, 2021 by railtec-models 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
