Lynton & Barnstaple lettering and paint

[NeilMac]

I have some L&B 009 kits which I was originally going to complete in a freelance livery, however I have now decided to finish them in accurate livery in SR brown.

Does anyone know what decals/transfers are applicable for these wagons? I know that Fox Transfers do SR sheets, but these are intended for standard gauge wagons and do not state the size of the lettering so unsure if L&B stock lettering was smaller.

Also what paint do people use? Again I am not sure if the SR livery on the L&B used the standard SR colours or if a different shade was used (although I do understand that back then nobody was particularly worried about the exact shade so there we variations in even newly painted stock).

Use SR lettering where possible. The SR did! Look also at 2mm scale decal sheets. Use photographic references where possible.
Good luck

I would not be surprised if Peter Blackham at Blackam Transfers did suitable lettering for the Lynton & Barnstaple stock both pre and post grouping.
