I'm looking for the following items, any help appreciated.
GWR seats, brass etch preferred (over 3d printed).
1930s road vehicle number plates.
1930s road signs.
Thanks.
I've seen brass GWR benches in 'Orribly Oversized but I think the only N gauge ones that I've seen are 3D printed ones.
For example https://www.macsmodels.online/product-page/n-gauge-1-148-gwr-benches-pack-of-3 (https://www.macsmodels.online/product-page/n-gauge-1-148-gwr-benches-pack-of-3)
Ancorton does a range of pre-1960s road signs but they can be difficult to find. https://www.hattons.co.uk/52082/ancorton_models_n_601_pre_1960_s_road_signs_set_1/stockdetail?srsltid=AfmBOopZIhjlKCP3yTr-ierogVD6eKR8L9jzIrcAua6fb1cmLRqN5PDL (https://www.hattons.co.uk/52082/ancorton_models_n_601_pre_1960_s_road_signs_set_1/stockdetail?srsltid=AfmBOopZIhjlKCP3yTr-ierogVD6eKR8L9jzIrcAua6fb1cmLRqN5PDL)
I will be fascinated if you can find what you're looking for.

Hi harper
Shire Scenes do the seats, SN43.
I seem to remember they're v fiddly

None in stock and they seem to be retiring but will send them an email.
I think N Brass did some as well, does anyone know how they compare in terms of assembly?

So will I.
Personally I feel that 3D printed items don't yet have much finesse and the station seats I have seen are a bit chunky. I wonder if I used some 3D seats to make a mould and cast them in white metal, they would improve with some shrinkage?
