Scotrail HST sets - transfers for renumbering coaches?

[matchmaker]

I've a 2+4 Scotrail Hornby HST set but want to add an additional trailer to convert it to a 2+5. Are any transfers available to renumber a trailer to Coach E?

Do Railtec or Cambridge Custom Transfers do anything?

Is it just coach numbers you need or coach letters too?

Afraid not. These are for the power cars, not the coaches.

I already do custom coach numbers of your choice via this very useful item:

As for the coach letters, these can quickly turn into a minefield in terms of research, design and testing (not to mention trying to match what a particular manufacturer printed on a particular production run - assuming they even got it right). If you'd like a quick win to get the vehicle number(s) you need then my advice would be to use the item above. I get the colour, typeface and size per the real things rather than a generic "close enough" approach.

 

As far as the coach letters are concerned, potentially do-able at some point, BUT, if they were to become feasible I'd need some close-up square-on images of the real things which shows all the detail, incl specific dimensions you'd need them to be. Also worth keeping in mind that the coach letter panels are different either end of the vehicle in terms of seat numbers etc.
