Detailed instructions with each pack. Vale of Rheidol 16mm names & Numbers in preparation; 6E/89A/89C/89D shedplates now available in 16mm scale. 16mm GW-style cabside numbers recently introduced, together with backing plates. Names and works plates for the Bachmann large scale double Fairlie are available, plus TALIESIN name & Works plates for builders & Owners of 16mm scale Single Fairlies. I also produce a growing number of weatherproof signs & Posters printed on aluminium. Your station names can be produced economically by this process. BR Smokebox numberplates available now in Gauge 1 (1:32) cover a selection of BR Standard 2-6-4T 80xxx series; GW 57xx 0-6-0PT. Full sets of plates for the 1:32 'Britannia' class including works plates, water capacity plates, also individually dated & Numbered plates for types BR1, BR1A and BR1D tenders. 15 companion sets of cabside numberplates (And backing plates) for the GW 57xx also available in 1:32 scale. The latter sets also include a fitting gauge so that numberplates can be set at the correct height on the cabside. Very wide selection of Gauge 1 (1:32) BR shedplates covers nearly all allocations of BR Standard steam loco classes, plus many others, over all six regions, including some of the smaller sheds. More being added. Etched Gill alphabets and numbers in 4mm, 8mm, 12mm and 16mm heights, produced in nickel silver and very easy to separate from the sheet. The alphabet follows the geometric style devised for use by signwriters throughout the LNER system (And widely adopted elsewhere). It became a design classic. The numbers are of the style adopted by the LNER for postwar cabside numbering, also used by British Railways for steam locos and the early prototype diesel and electric motive power. Pre-war LNER-style 4mm nickel silver numbers will also be introduced for Garter Blue A4 Pacifics, because the shape of the numbers differs subtly from the later LNER (And BR) patterns, notably 2, 4 and 5. Additional 'period' alphabets are in preparation. Special parts for 5 inch Gauge (Intended primarily for model engineers) enable the production of superb number and nameplates, with the appropriate etched backing plates, at very reasonable cost. They make nice souvenirs for your mantelpiece, as well! These, and the necessary GW Swindon numbers and alphabets, are etched in brass. Illustrations of the magnificent name and numberplates produced by Roy West, using my etched parts, are shown in my current 19th edition catalogue. These parts will also appear for 7¼ inch Gauge, also 2½ inch and 3½ inch Gauges as production time permits. Users of these gauges should contact me to declare their interest! As their Technical Columnist, I produce articles for the increasingly popular monthly GARDEN RAIL magazine (Atlantic Publishers). In September 2007, Atlantic published my 100-page money-saving book 'Your G-Scale Locomotive: an easy guide to care and maintenance', price £12.95. (ISBN 1-902827-16-3). This is available from me by mail order (Plus £2 P&P) or from my stand at Garden Railway shows (See later), also from Atlantic Publishers, or your friendly Garden Railways dealer, many of whom keep this, and other GardenRail Specials, in stock. Bookshops can obtain this to special order: quote the ISBN. I exhibit and sell my products at Garden Railways shows at STONELEIGH, LLANFAIR CAEREINION, and ELSECAR (Also BAKEWELL 'Gauge 1 North' 17th July 2010). For dates and venues, please see Garden Rail magazine, or 16mm Today (The Journal of the Association of 16mm Narrow Gauge Modellers), or the websites of the respective societies.
