Does anyone know definitely the correct size of numerals applied to this loco - 'normal' large or 'slightly-smaller-Scottish' large? I have a transfer pack of each and I'd like to get cracking.

 

I suspect it'll be 'normal' large. Some of the 47s at least had slightly-smaller large numbers - look for photos of 47617 and 47578 as examples. I thought the 37s all had normal sized numbers

 

.... and having said that I'm now just waiting on someone coming up with a photo to prove otherwise! ... ;)

hmmmm, the numbers on 47617 and 37262 together at Inverness look suspiciously similarly sized

comparing to normal sized

but now having looked at it, I'm not sure

were the slightly, smaller scottish numbers perhaps an Inverness depot thing ... and 37033 does have the highland rail logo. This looks like 37033 with a normal sized Large Logo 47 behind which certainly looks like it would have had the slightly smaller scottish numbers too
