Does anyone know where I can get name plates etched for some of my locos? I may be being dim not knowing but it would really be a help.
Cheers

Allen Doherty of worsley works has most of the FR nameplates and many others besides. He can often find a space on an etched sheet for nameplates if you ask nicely. otherwise i think golden arrow do some, but they might be hard to get hold of unless you go to a show they attend.
Modelmaster still produce the Jackson Evans range which includes a wide variety of ficticious plates. They might be worth a look to see if they have anything you like, although my previous enquiries for specially commissioned plates have been met with a thunderous silence :(.
As another possibility, Nigel Lawton's website has information on home etching - I've taken some of his advice & am shortly going to have a go myself. Now that's a disaster waiting to happen ;D! I'll probably dissolve the sink or something & I can't hide that from 'er indoors!
Live long & prosper

Thanks guys. I've been through the model masters catalogue and used quite a few of theirs but being a freelancer I would really like some bespoke ones. I'll try the worsley works idea. Best wishes with the etching. All sounds a bit scary to me.

Further to the model master name plate idea.
I believe that they are remaking the plates and when I tried to order some recently asked if there were any that I would like to see produced. Might be worth contacting them if anyone wants something in particular.
247 developments do a variety of 4mm name plates, and also 2 mm i think, not sure if they have a web address though
