7mm Suitable lettering for an AA19 Brake Van

[geoff_nicholls]

A friend has offered his part built AA19 brake van for use on the club's (Ilford and West Essex MRC) branch line layout, Bovey Manor, does anyone have siggestions for lettering and numbering it? We're thinking early British Railways, but late GWR would be okay. The setting is a might-have-been branch off the Moretonhampstead branch. I did find a photo in the excellent book by Anthony Kingdom and Mike Lang, but you can't read the lettering.

I have a list of Toad allocations and their corresponding numbers, but as is usual, am unable to locate it on my PC.

Here is a link that should give you a good idea of some of the various combinations that can be used:

There was also an excellent series of articles on "The Common Toad" by John Lewis in Scale Trains magazine in 1983. If you PM me with your email address I'll send you a copy. It's too big to send as an attachment on WT.
