Etched Smokebox Plates for forthcoming Hornby J15's

All,

 

Some might be interested to note that I have been in discussion with Fox Transfers regarding the production of alternative etched smoke box number plates for the forthcoming Hornby J15's - as the etched plates available for this class at the moment from the trade are extremely limited.

 

This came about primarily as I needed a selection of plates for my own pre-ordered J15's - and Fox have kindly agreed to produce these on their next run and are also going to add various other J15 numbers to the sheet whilst they are at it.

 

At present it looks as if the following smoke box plates will become available, covering both the 'steam-braked' and the 'Westinghouse-braked' versions, although please note that they are likely to be a month or two at best....it depends on when they have sufficient plates to put another sheet into production.

If anyone wants plates for their own ordered J15's which are not on this list, now is the time to contact Lynda at Fox Transfers, mention my discussion with her today (12th Feb) ....and ask them to add your own particular number requirements to the sheet. Once they are in production it could be some considerable time before they can add any more numbers.
