John Tomlinson Posted June 25, 2019 Share Posted June 25, 2019 The HMRS pressfix range has a sheet, I think no.15, that includes the numbers and letters for pre-TOPS blue era. This enables you to make up your own numbers at will. John. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The pre-TOPS sets usually have a few made up numbers, plus some additional digits to allow you to make up any other numbers that suit. Regards, Alex.

RMweb Gold Phil Bullock Posted June 29, 2019 RMweb Gold Share Posted June 29, 2019 Having renumbered 130 locos for this era would recommend either Fox - pre made number sets available for several classes... or Railtec who will do you a custom number set for each individual loco including OHLE flashes, data panels, BR insignia and shed codes as required. For name plates either Fox or Extreme etchings. For works plates Extreme etchings or Railtec. For headcode use precision labels. and for customised data panels correct for the loco class (design them yourself! But background always blue in this era regardless of loco colour) use model master. No no connection with any of these other than an extremely satisfied customer. Phil Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
