Bowpens & other drawing instruments
Bowpens are the best tools for applying the fine lining to your locomotive &
carriage liveries;- Unfortunately, there are very few quality instruments available
to buy new, & those that are obtainable are rarely as good as some of the vintage
instruments from makers now long since gone.
Accordingly, we have scoured the world for good quality, vintage instruments,
which we test, expertly regrind, hone & polish where necessary, & offer for sale
on our exhibition stand. We have selections of both individual bowpens, & quality
sets of drawing instruments, which come in useful for layout planning,
scratchbuilding, marking out etc. & are sold at a small premium above the value
of the individual pens included in them, rather than break up nice sets in their
original velvet-lined cases.
All are graded according to the fineness of the lines they will produce in neat
Humbrol enamel paint, & come with a test card to demonstrate this, together with
a brief instruction sheet giving hints & tips in their use & care. Stock varies, so it is
best to contact us to establish what we have to suit your needs.
Pen prices range from £15 - £75, Sets from £45 - £195.
