I want some name plates for my Ragleth when it arrives. (Millie)
Just not sure on the size.
what dimensions have others used?
Edit: Doh..looked on the site and they recommend 9mm.
Although the website recommends 9mm I think these are quite large so, unless you have a large loco I'd go for something smaller. The first set of plates I ordered for my Fowler (which is quite a small loco) were 8mm overall. When they arrived, these looked somewhat over-sized so I re-ordered them (see earlier posts). The second set are 6mm overall, which I think is more in keeping with the model. You'll see that others here feel that 9mm plates are a bit on the large side, so you might want to go for something a bit smaller.
Here are the 8mm originals
These are the 6mm replacements
Here they are alongside each other for comparison
Steve sends you the artwork before etching, which does enable you to get some idea of the eventual sizing. It's worth checking these images carefully before confirming the order. He is happy to change the sizing if needs be at that stage.
