RMweb Premium corneliuslundie Posted January 1, 2016 RMweb Premium Share Posted January 1, 2016 I am working very much out of my normal priod building a wagon for a friend. It needs to be in BR period with a P number. Can anyone tell me the sizes of the various parts of the lettering please? None of my 30 or so books on wagons seem to have the information.

Boris Posted January 1, 2016 Share Posted January 1, 2016 On the original examples I have been involved in restoring over the years 3.5 to 4 inches seems to be about the norm for the running numbers with the other information being 2 to 3 inches in height.

RMweb Premium corneliuslundie Posted January 1, 2016 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted January 1, 2016 Many thanks both. Now I just have to see how my supply of 4mm transfers matches up to these sizes. Jonathan Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
