BR - Original British Railways Lettering, LNER style. For a period of two years or so following Nationalisation of Britain's railway system on 1 January 1948, many tender and tank locos carried the interim markings of ownership provided in this pack whilst a 'final' design was decided upon. The lettering style, in Eric Gill's famous 'Gill Sans' typeface, albeit hand-painted, was inherited from the LNER which had been using this face for over a decade. Our transfers provide lettering in three shades - cream, off white and white - to match our cabside numbering available on sheets FRH2004, 2008 and 2024 respectively - each shade being provided in three pairs of each of the three commonly used prototype sizes of 8" (approx 21.25mm wide x 1.4mm high), 9" (24.25mm wide x 1.5mm high) and 10" (approx 27mm wide x 1.7mm high), also to correspond to the loco numbering sizes.
