Loco name and number plates, please.

[tac foley]

Well, having been let down by one nameless company who, when I called admitted that they'd lost my order place earlier this year, I'm now left looking for another supplier for names and number plates for my next loco, the Accucraft Aussie diesel.

As it bears a vague resemblement to the 400 bhp Kambarka-built bo-bo on the Brecon Mountain Railway down there in De Cymru, that's what it's going to be. All I need are the Cyrillic lettered number plates for the cab, and the nameplates for the hood.



It is going to be named 'MIKI ENDO', after the heroine local radio broadcaster who stuck to her emergency mike during the Japan tsunami, warning people to flee the disaster until her studio was swept away, with her in it. Forty people were on the roof during the tsunami - eleven survived. 'Greater love...' and all that.



Recommendations, anybody?

For all on my locos, I have used Light Railway Stores. They have a wide variety of styles and fonts, or I believe that could custom make to your artwork. They are not particularly quick, as they manufacture in batches, but the quality is excellent and they have the merit of being very competitively priced. I have no hesitation on recommending them.

I use Peter Wood (of Doncaster) for my plates all of which are bespoke. He’s recently made the set of name number and works plates for my Mersey Railway 0-6-4T built around a Bachmann Devious Diesel chassis.

If you just want some small vinyl decals in outdoor grade solvent let me know (PM), similar to what I have done with my coachs here.
