I have a number of Pete Boorman kits to construct and the info sheets say to

Hey guys,

I am looking for Ho scale figures that I am putting in my shop window train

Does anyone know if the above is still making these signals (4mm) as his
website seems to have been off-line a few months.

What a terrible job! Just finished my first conversion -- a ConCor
