I am building a 5" gauge GWR loco and would like some cab side number plates, does anyone know of a supplier. I think some time ago someone was offering a basic plate with seperate etched numbers to make your own plates.

Any advice would be appreciated

Mike,

Dont know if you know, GWR used to cast brass letters and copper – rivetted them on, to construct nameplates. I think the brass cabside plates were solid brass with integral nos. cast in.
