DropTheTap Posted July 5, 2014 Share Posted July 5, 2014 Hello, I distinctly remember reading that "pre- sectorization" locomotive data panels were only ever produced in BR blue livery, obviously with white lettering. This is evident upon many BR green liveried diesels with TOPS numbers showing a blue- backed data panel: https://www.flickr.com/photos/52g_sunderland/5653127861/in/pool-br_green_liveried_tops_locos My question is, does anyone produce these in 4mm as transfers (waterslide or pressfix, I'm not picky)? I've tried modelmaster and fox, who produce panels with black backgrounds, as well as the clear white ones, which are fine for a blue locomotive! I know this has been done before, any ideas? Thanks, Andy. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flood Posted July 5, 2014 Share Posted July 5, 2014 I don't think anyone has. I take a clear waterslide one from the backing paper (usual waterslide method), reverse it and press it on to a spare corner of backing paper. Paint it blue (obviously now on the back), leave to dry and then remove from the backing paper as normal and place on the loco the correct way round. This photo of 47704 on Kirkhill shows the finished result: Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, Andy. Precision Labels do them. You just need to know the details,i.e.. weight,speed, RA, ETH index and brake type for the loco you want them for. Al Taylor.
