The Standard British Railways 9” numbers
The standard British Railways steam locomotive number was introduced from about the same time as the early crest and replaced the earlier hand painted white numbers or transfers from the original company. ie LMS, LNER or SR.
Produced as transfers the cream numbers were 9 inches high with a black outline.
These transfers were used for all steam locomotives including the black ones right up until the end of steam in 1968.
A smaller 7 inch version was produced for smaller locomotives, and the Scottish Region, but we do not produce those.
Technical Specifications
Screen printed transfers, printed using an ink that replicates the paint provided by Phoenix Precision Paints Ltd. almost exactly in both chemical resistance and colour stability.
Once printed these transfers are coated with a ‘varnish coat’ that bind the different areas of the transfer together to make a single entity such as in the words ‘Great Western’.
This varnish coat can be removed once the transfer has been applied and is dry to leave an almost factory printed finish.
Please Note: Not all transfers are available in all scales.
