Welcome to our Website
IMPORTANT INFORMATION PLEASE READ BEFORE PLACING AN ORDER
During October we will be doing some major work on the collection and website. This will consist of uploads, scanning, tidying up and general maintenance. As I am a one man band and do this part time I will be focusing on the jobs in hand, so I will not be working on any new orders after the 23rd September. So please do not order unless you are happy to wait for a while. Once I have completed all the work I need to do I will upload further information via this page and the blog. I would envisage us opening up for orders somewhere around the 20th October. Thank you for your patience.
We are currently scanning three fairly major collections. Plus if you include the batch of negs we are also working on, I think we will be trawling through about 15,000 images on top of what we already have stored to scan. So please be patient and keep dipping in to see what is new.
Now for a little information:
We are a part time business, working primarily in the evenings and weekends, so we are not int the "Instant dispatch" business, so please bare with us. We normally batch our processing to get some economy of scale on the pricing so orders will normally take 1 to 2 weeks to process and arrive on your doorstep. Also during holiday periods and organisational periods our service may be worse than ever...... Please take this into consideration. The PROJECT is very much a labour of love.
We are also building a Maritime section, Bus section and overseas railways section. So if your transport tastes are broader than just the British Railway scene, please drop in from time to time to see what is developing.
I think we have around 100,000 images in our files both on film and digital. At the moment the website houses a fraction of these. So if there is anything specific that you are searching for that is not on the website, please do get in touch. Uploading images is an ongoing process, so keep watching. And don't forget we also sell via Ebay "transporttopicsuk" and via our catalogue and lists. Contact us for further details.
Don't tell the wife, but I am always on the look out for transport collections of original negs or slides to expand the TRANSPORT TOPICS library. It would be great if they could be donated, but of course I am always happy to talk a price. Beware I can be fussy and I do prefer older images, but don't be put off as I am always happy to discuss the content and would hate to see a collection go to the council tip instead of being preserved.
