Heather - Apologies! Every time I went out to the workshop I forgot to check the number of the HMRS transfer sheet. I remembered yesterday. It's 14.

Get yourself some white waterslide transfer paper (inkjet or laser, it does not matter in this case) and cut new numbers on the Silhouette.Just heard from the client.
He thinks the set numbers on the ends are way too big. Being a Suvvern Noob, I don’t know any better, but I have to agree. I reckon Fox have them wrong. I’m going to sort that out when they reappear on the bench. I’m wondering if I might get away with using loco numbers…
*whoosh*
Thanks Brian!
I am still considering options on this. I think I can get away with loco cab numbers.

Weathering towards the end of life, tired, grubby, but otherwise cared for. We may wait for the other coaches he has/wants so I can do them all as a set. That might still be a way off, what with the way of pandemics and stuff.
Right, back to the North Eastern!

The image below shows some "1" first class designators as fixed to windows produced in 4mm using this method. From memory they were mirrored so they could be applied behind the glazing:

Sorry to divert Heather's thread but I don't think these are the same thing. The white "1"s were transfers 10" high added during WW2 for visibility in the blackout. I think other regions did the same.They were also etched into the glass on both sides. We have original GNR compartment droplights at Kidderminster with the original etchings still present with a strict instruction to be used only in absolute dire emergencies. We also have original 1941 GWR etched windows on 7284 that have the 1 etched in.
Another little thing I nearly forgot…

Security grilles. These are CPL GWR ones, but they’re good enough.
You answered your own question!Good enough! God enough!
