I am referring to the rectangular plates for (a) wagon numbers and (b) "G.W.R" ownership which were fitted to some new builds in the period circa 1895 to circa 1900. Chris Brown (@ChrisBr) and I are doing prototype research into the subject, accompanied by trials with etching of 7mm plates, for a couple of S7 layouts that are being built by Peter / I and by Chris. To date we have searched through circa 30 books likely to feature photographs of wagons of the period and I have created a spreadsheet of the results.
At this point I wish for some help from WTers.
Coopercraft (now Slaters) kits for GWR wagons include some mouldings of the rectangular plates in some of the kits, if you have any of these kits and can find the moulded plates then I shall be interested to know:-
a) what kit in what scale?;
b) what GWR wagon diagram?;
c) what numbers are provided?.
thank you, Graham
