N Gauge Society (but you'll have to join)

I thought Railtec did but a quick search doesn't find any.

Try searching the Fox web site.

Also Narrow Planet but I think they have a new name or have been sold on to someone else.

Why not just Google for them yourself???

247 developmens do name and numberplates. The website is not very clear but they have this catalogue:

Railtec will do these if you order a number set for a GWR loco I believe. They look really good from what I've seen.

I've used the Railtec number plates on all my GWR stock. Highly recommended.

Thanks but Google like other search engines don't always give you the answer you are looking for. Someone who is on a specific forum related to what is being asked, that uses such items may have the answer.

Just have a look on the Railtech website. I've used his ex-GWR set for loads of locos and they're really good. The smokebox numberplates are especially good being the correct white numbers on black rather than the poor looking Fox Transfers brass or steel on black.

You may well be right re search engines. However it also must depend on the search terms you use. Anyway looks like Ensign Elliot has found your answer.
