Re: Moquette

No Matt, didn't order 400 metres! Bought one roll and it arrived next day so just assumed it was an off the shelf item. RMOOA used to order it in quantity and supply to members and others but they stopped some years ago. Maybe they ought to think about doing something similar again if they can afford over £900.00? I would prefer to get it direct though because it could be at least 24% cheaper for me if I deal directly with the manufacturer.

My bus number (if any): RMs 238, 471 and 2213, GS17

Re: Moquette

I think if you read back somewhere on here, An RMOOA member took the risk himself and made orders for a run of both RM and RT Moquette.

To make the risk safer, he took orders from others until the production length was reached.

As there is always a minimum production run it was based on pre orders with a deposit up front and everyone got the meterage they ordered.

This way the cost is shared and the mark up minimised.

It can take a while as the order can only be confirmed when the production length target is reached, and that those shoe participate are sincere and pay up.

Re: Moquette

Hi.

Just seen this thread.

I have just ordered RT moquette for those which wanted it.

I have in stock

RM eyes down
RM tartan
10T10
4RF4
RT

I had RCL and many others which have been asked to be involved with.

Each batch costs £1000's to get made and I don't always sell the full run so Camira hold it in stock which I have paid for in advance.

Please contact me if you want any moquette

David

My bus number (if any): RM1403, RML 2271 & RML 2674
