4mm transfers for BR ex-LMS 20T brake van

[Metr0Land]

I'm having trouble finding transfers for a bauxite BR ex-LMS guards van of this type:

I've tried Railtec, Fox and Modelmaster but unless I'm overlooking something they all seem to do transfers for this earlier type LMS one, not the later BR-built ones

Modelmaster BR302 includes B950204 which is a BR built 1/503, but that was the unpiped diagram as built.

I do the large LMS brandings although not (yet at least) the smaller detail, though that wouldn't be too difficult. The image of the van on TMC looks quite different to the Parkside model, though?

Thanks for quick reply but I'm looking to model this type/colour (I couldn't find a bauxite pic earlier).  The TMC one is this type.  AIUI you only do transfers for the earlier van as per Parkside

Thanks very much, I hadn't noticed that guards vans were included with merchandsie, fish, meat, bananas etc!

Ah ok. Would the existing pack below fit the bill?

Yes it would.  Afraid all these TOPS designations are 'too modern' for me so I didn't recognise them in the list!  I've prob got some more locos to renumber so will add them to a list over the hols.

I'll add B950204 is on a transparent background, rather than black now I've dug the sheet out. (It was on a list I'd made of what was on the sheet to help me rather than constantly looking things up).

The Search box has its purposes but I'm conscious that the size of the catalog is growing so quickly (474 new line items in 2021 alone so far) that it may not always be immediately intuitive to find what you're looking for via just the search box (or the browse by era, livery or traction type pages), so I can totally understand where you're coming from. A while back I did introduce the concept of "themes" to help bridge the gap:

...including a "brake van" theme:

https://www.railtec-models.com/catalog.php?type=5&gauge=all&theme=50

 

...but I have something quite specific up my e-sleeve to hopefully help close the gap even further. Just need to block off a couple of solid days for coding. 31st November one year, perhaps.
