Transfers (4mm) for wagon solebars


Recommended Posts

Does anyone make a sheet of 4mm transfers for the plates (builder, owner, repair, etc) found on wagon solebars (Big 4 through to BR)?

I've looked in the usual places (Powsides, HMRS, Fox) but I might have missed something. A product code number would be great...

Thanks

Tim.

Should give you a start, they aren't quite what you are after but a bit of creative painting and weathering they'll look the part.  Repair plates are quite small so you're probably best getting a small brush and freehanding those on, HMRS do some sheets (the ones with no smoking signs etc on) with the vacuum string stars on, with that you're probably about sorted.

There is a big hole in the market AFIK for solebar data.  I have never seen the info that you get on coach solebars except on more recent RTR models.  Even 7mm kit transfers don't usually have this.  I have made these myself but transfers would be nice.  The link to wagon plates is good to know.

HMRS have done the ELP and vacuum star transfers for quite some time.
