It probably needs to be totally replaced sooner or later but for now we are just sorting the worst of the rotten beams. I think back in the 50's 60s lettering was done by signwriters so would vary a bit but as a rough rule of thumb, what size do you do your wagon numbers and WB/tare markings?

Hi, good luck with the Palvan. We have a couple of feature blogs about signwriting, painting and markings that we have used on our wagons, see our Quorn Wagon & Wagon webpage, this may help - https://quornwagonandwagon.co.uk/features/ Also attached is an 'example' of the lettering sizing and layout that we have used, but there were lots of variations on how and where lettering was applied so best to refer to pictures for actual layout etc for your wagon build/lot. 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Excellent thanks. I've got a reasonable idea of positioning and styles from modelling but when you get presented with a plank and told to paint a number on its a slightly different proposition! We have some old templates used to spray through then touch up but they aren't really sans serif and it makes a hell of a mess. I'd prefer to make up a master for each number/letter, use these to draw the required number and lettering on paper each time and then use chalk to transfer to the wagon and hand paint in. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
