Who do you use?

Wanting to get custom name plates for diesels.

Thanks!

I have used Fox transfers and Light railway stores(was Narrow planet) with no problems even for bespoke nameplates although you have to wait a while for bespoke plates and they are not as cheap as those already in their product range. the N gauge society also have a stock of number and name plates, but you need to be a member. hope this helps

Regards,

Alex

Very much. Thanks!

I've only used Light Railway Stores myself and had a good experience with them. As others have mentioned custom plates can take a while to be made and sent out so be aware you will be waiting a while. LRS currently advise 8 weeks minimum.

I've run into the problem of being in the US: no shipping. 

What style of nameplate? There's a big difference between a bog-standard plate and the type fitted to the class 40 and Peaks for example.

Good question.

I don't want it to look goofy, but I am employing Rule 1. So, I just want my real-to-life but fictitious place to have locos I named, based on the proposed region, running by.
