Subject: [Half inch live steam forum] Great Western numberplates query.


Dear all,
I realise it's been a bit quiet recently, but hope this is mainly a
reflection of folks being too busy in the workshop to get to the computer.

I do some lost wax and etched detailing parts for model railway scales and
have been thinking about doing some smokebox numbers (both BR and LMS
styles) and maybe some GWR cabside numbers. 2 1/2" gauge and below may lend
themselves to etching but larger scales would be cast. Would there be much
call for such items from this group?
Regards,

Simon.
