John Isherwood / Cambridge Custom Transfers

[cctransuk]

Good Morning!

Having been critical of Warners once too often, I find myself effectively an exile from RMweb.

I have been a 'lurking' member here for some time, following admired former / fellow members of RMweb, but have rarely posted.

Since any mention of Cambridge Custom Transfers on RMweb would come at a minimum cost of £360 per annum, this is not practicable for a 'not for profit' micro-supplier.

I am currently seeking permission to move my product news to Western Thunder, and I intend to become more active within the forum where I can usefully post.

It comes as a breath of fresh air to enter a forum where the focus is on 'building stuff' - and not just East Coast Mainline 'Pacifics'!

Anyway, many of you will know that I focus on producing BR steam / early diesel rolling stock insignia, and I welcome enquiries within that sphere of modelling.

Welcome to WT, John.
A very satisfied user of your products

Thank you - I try to produce what is in demand; for my own use and that of fellow modellers.

John.

Hi John, welcome, I'd followed the thread you refer too and think it a bit much to charge small businesses like ours which help modellers and take part in the various threads helping people where we can. I've not been very active on RMweb in recent times as I don't feel the need to spend time even looking through the lists of threads let alone reading them.

Dave.

Hi John and it's good to see you here.

As far as I'm aware product news is welcome but may I suggest you have a word with the Mods to see whether there are any "custom and practice" rules for suppliers. We don't want this to become an advertising hoarding but at the same time like to know what's going on. WT seems pretty free and easy to me as long as we all "play nicely".

I have already emailed the Mods a couple of times - but no response to date.

Nowt - but a certain 'railway modelling celebrity' seems to talk of little else!

Tony

In which case, I'll risk an update there!

Thanks,

[oldravendale]

Agreed Tony @76043 . The presence of other entries indeed suggests that such info will be welcomed.

John,
Welcome.
Try reporting the first post your own thread. Adrian will pick it up when can.
I don't think we have active Mods (plural) at the moment......

Hello John

Welcome.

If l could ask you to clarify please. I’ve mentioned my own products on RMWeb and never been charged and there appear to be threads in the small suppliers section from the likes of Mousa Models and several others, which l cannot imagine they pay for - or is this some form of new rule coming in?

Be most grateful if you could clarify

Regards

David Parkins

 

[Mick LNER]

Ah yes makes sense now . Constant repetition and downgrading of products that dont suit !!

 

[Marc Dobson]

As a fellow small scale supplier this is a very worrying situation with the other place. So far I have not been contacted by them yet .
But in the meantime welcome aboard WT.

New terms - commercial content on RMweb

I've just been asked to agree to new site terms and I guess this is the same for everyone. The highlighted section says: Do not post any content or links that serve to promote or offer for sale any goods, services, transaction or commercial entity that you have any involvement with unless agreeme...

www.rmweb.co.uk

It has caused a lot of upset to many. It does'nt appear to have been well thought out, prior to the release date.

Hi David

It is a new rule/terms & conditions that Warners have brought in about two weeks ago.

Mick LNER has linked the relevant thread, but as he says, not particularly well thought out.

Welcome, John.
A good bunch here of doers, not talkers.
In view of your comment about the content in the other place, I hope my next workbench topic will not cause too much offence!


Best wishes.

David,

As has been said - a new policy.

They wanted £360 from me - I typically posted quarterly product updates and answered enquiries for transfers when I could help.

When I declined to cough up, they even made me change my username from 'cctransuk' to 'John Isherwood', so that I could derive no 'commercial benefit'.
