Etched name plates

#1

Post by Bandit Mick »

A bit of advice please. I want to purchase some etched name plates for an industrial loco I have purchased (oo gauge). I want to use Small Planet as the loco is by Planet Industrials. What height plates do I order for my scale? Thank you.

Depends how big you want the plates to be. There was no standard size. Many industrial locos had the name painted on. You need to measure the space where the plate is going.
