What size bunker-side numbers - help please!

I have a 4mm scale DJH Caley 0-4-4 tank which is to be 55222, as per Killin branch in the late 1950s. What size numerals would be appropriate for it? Pressfix 3mm(8 inch) ones look too big to my eyes so I'm looking at using Fox transfers. Are 2mm/6 inch right or even their 2.75mm ones? Hope someone can help. Many thanks to all.

Ah, for Scottish locos you need big ones. Size seems to have varied from works to works, but most were 8". However engines shopped at St. Rollox [most likely for ex-Caley locos] and Cowlairs were well-known for using 10" ones - and yes they do look noticeably bigger than normal
