Are the number plates CRA transfers too?

Hi Compound. I make the number plates myself. Drawings are available for the plate and the numerals. They are done with affinity, the plate is one layer, the numbers on subsequent layers. A bit of retouching then just printed out on to paper, cut out and stuck on.  Easy to make a range of custom numbers. 

Most of my later wagons have them, one day I'll go over the early stock and add them too.

Much as I do to make my numberplates - Midland, LNWR, etc. I print onto photo paper at best quality, cut around the numberplate, and peel off the backing, leaving just the thin hard shiny layer.

Excellent work as always. The last photo has made me curious about the extent to which Loco Coal wagons were mixed in with general coal trains - something that probably differed between companies. Need to read up on the GWR situation.
