Transfer Update
Back in November 2013, I hinted that I was trying to crack transfers for the Highland’s locos in LMS days; something that is not realistically available via other sources and there does not seem to be much prospect of anyone else doing them.
Anyway, hopefully, I have cracked all I need to with regard to these and the final artwork is complete. This is what it looks like – hopefully it has covered all the locos you might fancy!
Also on the sheet are one or two other things; but I am less certain that these will work so I’ll keep these as a secret until I find out.
The intention is that these will be available in 4mm & 7mm scales; pricing to be confirmed but I am afraid they will be fairly expensive as the production run is not big and you 7mm chaps in particular eat the page with the size of the prints!
Once they come in, I decide whether they are viable.

I’d be very interested to know whether you’ve managed to produce these in the end? I’ve been searching a couple of months for transfers to name 2 LMS-era Castles, but so far only the Fox HR-era transfers have come to light. I’d be grateful if I could volunteer my custom! Look forward to hearing either way – thankyou for giving this a go 🙂

Hi Craig,
Despite being from some time ago these have not made it into production – albeit yet.
We had formatting issues and whilst we did get over these with one manufacturer, that came at a price of around £18 per sheet before set up costs – so they were going to be rather punchy in terms of price.
I am still trying to get them done which will probably mean that I have to redraw these in a different programme which I would also have to learn. So it is a “one day” rather than in the immediate future.
Fox do indeed to the HR era ones, but I don’t think there are other options for the LMS era which is what I think we are both after!

brilliant, thanks so much Mark for letting me know – good luck if and when you do manage to progress it, I’ll be very happy to be your first customer! All best, Craig
