Transfers for Hornby B17 LNER loco

[Ncl]

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.

Thanks but I have compared to the Hornby colours and they are very different. I'm only trying to change two numbers.

Change the lot - you'll never get a good match.

Agree, don’t faff about changing two numbers - you need to change all of them IME or it *will* look odd.

But plenty of examples exist, where locos just had a digit or two changed and looked odd, but it was correct!

True, but you'll spend ages telling that to know-alls at exhibitions !!😉
