Midland Mainline HST Nameplates/Coach Letters

Sipat · January 03, 2014, 11:10:02 AM

Now my HST is up to full strength, I am sending the set off to be detailed/weathered by Dirty Pig. The question is thus: is there anywhere I can buy coach letter decals from? I have Coach A, B, C, C, C, F, G, G and would like to get the correct letters on the coaches. Secondly, does anyone know where I can get number/nameplate sets for Midland Mainline HST sets, I would like 43058 Midland Pride (as set) and 43046 Royal Philarmonic.
Many thanks
Steve

The letters may well be very close to or similar to other regions ? Might be worth emailing them to ask if one of the more generic sets matches the A B C etc.

Otherwise Precision Decals are great for custom one off decals at sensible prices, including things like coach numbers on one decal.

Give Steve at Railtec Models a try? He can work from photos and can produce almost anything. I had some Ambrogio transfers made for some 45' containers. I only sent him a photo and rough sizes of what I wanted and he did this. Also ready made up TOPS numbers for most if not all locos. He has a massive range already and half the price of Fox. Very surprised Precision cant help though
