RMweb Gold gwrrob Posted April 16, 2016 RMweb Gold Share Posted April 16, 2016 I'm looking at getting some transfers made for the ends of my b set coaches.I want them for the Kingsbridge branch No1 and 2 but need a clearer photo that shews the letters better.The letters look white but I would like to see another example.I know other branches had them too. Anyone help. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold The Fatadder Posted April 16, 2016 RMweb Gold Share Posted April 16, 2016 I know I've seen photos end of a Bristol Division B Set somewhere which clearly shows the letters. I will have a look and see what I can find. Will be interested to see how you get on, as I wouldn't mind a set myself...... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold gwrrob Posted April 28, 2016 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted April 28, 2016 (edited) A bump for this thread and here we see 4582 leaving Avonwick shewing the end of the B set branding well.

Isambard Kingdom Brunel Posted May 18, 2016 Share Posted May 18, 2016 I also need something like this for my B Set for the Llanfyllin Branch Both photos are taken from GWR Journal 61 from Wild Swan Publications and are credited to H.F. Wheeler I believe there were 2 sets on marked Llanfyllin, Llanymynech and Oswestry Branch No 1 and the other No 2 Would appreciate any help in acquiring a set of these transfers. I assume there would be one on the brake end of each coach 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trains&armour Posted May 19, 2016 Share Posted May 19, 2016 Gentlemen, something like this? Transfer designs photofitted to my Airfix B set. Not totally correct, but it gives a reasonable impression. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold john dew Posted May 19, 2016 RMweb Gold Share Posted May 19, 2016 Looks great.....How did you do it.......does one need some special software? Kind regards Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trains&armour Posted May 20, 2016 Share Posted May 20, 2016 (edited) Trade secret..... You don't need any special software. All major photoshop programs should work. You do, however need the right font, which I found thanks to gwrrob and this site: http://www.uksteam.info page http://groups.yahoo.com/group/gwr-elist/files, font GWR Nameboards.ttf. (but you need to be a member or register) Install it in windows and it should the be available in your photoshop program. With some experimenting with letter spacing, line spacing, stretching, opacity etc. you should be able to make a accurate 00 copy of the text you want. Good quality printable transfer paper is widely available, but the hard part is printing the texts, because you ideally need a printer that can print white! And those are about as rare as hens teeth, but luckily enough for me a friend of mine has one! Edited May 20, 2016 by Trains&armour 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you don't have access to a printer which can print white, the answer is to use white transfer paper and make the background the colour of the side, black in this case. With a little judicious weathering, you should not see the join. Mark A Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
