For more info regarding the availability of these stamps, please phone Frieda or Phina at 012 845 2814

The telephone number given above is that of the designer and not the sales person.

According to Phina, the release date may now be move to coincide with the launch of the Gautrain, presumably on the 8th of June, but this hasn't been set 100% yet.

PS> may I add that the stamps look wonderfull! The little drawings of the locos that didn't make it is a great idea.

Sold by the private dealers.

I will send you a PM with details. If postage to you is too expensive I can buy them here and post on to you from Europe when I am next over if you want.
