Planet Industrials: NCB Barclay...

Despite the world in crisis, the world of Model Railways continues, in some ways oblivious to the situation,  and certainly providing some mindful distraction from the worries and stresses of real life...

In that mind, I'm pleased to share the latest in the Planet Industrials range, a model I've hinted at for a few weeks, the NCB style post 1951 cab Barclay, a follow up to the initial Devonport style cab release from earlier this year.

It will be released early next month, exclusively through the Narrow Planet marketplace, stock is in place for the initial batch, although Covid-19 may interrupt further batches, or our ability to send it to you! These photos show the development prototype finished in the style of No.22 at Bowes, sadly out of boiler ticket.

The transfers were designed by me specifically for the model, and set off the otherwise austere black livery quite nicely. The lettering is bespoke, drawn to match the prototypes sign written lettering exactly using photos of the original as a template.

Although these are not on general sale, our own range of transfers gives a few lettering styles that would be suitable, expecially using PIC-005 in yellow.

The price will be as per the Devonport cab, £25 including UK delivery, or £120 when purchased with a donor Hattons Barclay, of which we still have a limited stock, which post Covid-19 we will replenish. If you'd like to commission me to build you a model, I would appreciate the business at this time, do get in touch either through the forums or Facebook - or you can use the contact form on my website. More soon...
