imp Models, does anyone recognise this

[jeremy.viewing]

Has anyone built coaches from imp Models of Lincoln, does anyone recognise this kit or know anything about imp are they still in business?  I have three coach kits to build and have no idea of what prototype they are based on?

I've not seen or heard of these before but the telephone number on the label would suggest they are more than 20 years old by the absence of the 01 prefix.

Beat me to hitting the 'Post' button..

Seeing as 'Phone Day' added the '1' into area codes of telephone numbers in 1995, you have some serious UFO's there!


*UFO, craft / modelling term for any item or Object, which is Unfinished. Unfinished Object.

A web-search brings up Anything Narrow Gauge, as having had items in the past, but not much else.
This does not mean they no longer exist.. Take Atropos (think that is the spelling), Still going, but operate on send stamps for a catalogue, and ring with order..

Imp Models were from a distant past memory and were around when I had my 16mm garden line, would suggest trying forums with a 16mm related interest, the 16mm Assoc or a local group who may have a member with a better memory than me!

Are they vacuum formed or cast? One could mold them and cast more , if they wanted.

Try Anything Narrow Gauge, or ask I P engineering. I think that IMP were absorbed by someone else.

Jerry. They are VAC formed and could be copied, but I am no closer to identifying these, all inquiries have drawn a blank
