Thank you everyone who has posted suggestions both here and on skype. I think the closest found is the POL-4643 from Mainline Mouldings. I'll see what they say when they come back.

looks like GAL/8 from Simons, Arqadia used to do one almost identical but from a quick look in the catalogue it looks like they have discontinued it - Mainline also did a version 5006034 but don't know if it is exactly the same

The full cat number is 007 2026

I've run out too, but sourced a very similar moulding from radius in Darlington.

I'll post the cat number tomorrow. But from memory it's 868-11.

Don't think you have given the full Catolgue Number!

Help!

I have just been told that this moulding won't be available until February. Does anyone have a length or even half a length they could spare? I have a customer waiting and need 1.5 meters!

Thanks.
