Ncl Posted August 4, 2023 Share Posted August 4, 2023 Hi all. Can anyone recommend a supply of replacement LNER cabside numbers for the 4mm Hornby B17 Apple Green loco please? The Fox transfers are too yellow rather than metallic gold to match the existing numbers The Modelmaster ones might be ok but I can't find anyone with them in stock. Happy to purchase some secondhand if anyone has some spare. Many thanks in advance, Kind regards, Nick. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ncl Posted August 6, 2023 Author Share Posted August 6, 2023 Thanks but I have compared to the Hornby colours and they are very different. I'm only trying to change two numbers. Regards Nick. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Helmdon Posted August 6, 2023 Share Posted August 6, 2023 Agree, don’t faff about changing two numbers - you need to change all of them IME or it *will* look odd. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium kevinlms Posted August 6, 2023 RMweb Premium Share Posted August 6, 2023 But plenty of examples exist, where locos just had a digit or two changed and looked odd, but it was correct! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

True, but you'll spend ages telling that to know-alls at exhibitions !!😉 CJI. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
