N 2MM CLASS 08 & 09 NAMEPLATES
| £5.99 |
Now available here for 2mm N-gauge, a collection of Tinsley "unofficial" Class 08 and 09 hand-painted names. These include the famous Tinsley rose, various shed plates, engine numbers, data panels and a Tinsley snail where appropriate.
Twenty-eight name options so far - there are a few more we can model if close up photographs come to light of these modern traction engines:
08492 "HALLAM" (the later name for "BARNSLEY"), 08500 "THOMAS", 08514 "HENRY"/"HENGIST", 08581 "IMOGEN", 08661 "MERCIAN" and 08887 "THUNDERBIRD" (also the name of a Class 47 engine).
Each pack includes:
- Three sets of side decals - one spare,
- Using clear waterslide film backing,
- All the details to re-name and re-number a Class 08 or 09 shunter model.
Simply cut roughly out, soak in water for less than a minute, and then slide from the backing on to the model. Note clear film decals work best on gloss surfaces. When dry, we recommend you varnish over to seal the decals and protect them.
Click on the images to enlarge a view of some of the options. Those are actual scans of the OO printed decals, on their pale blue backing.
With one exception, the names were all painted on the side access panels, just ahead of the BR double arrows. The Tinsley rose was usually centred on the door, although for 08210 "TUXFORD" the bottom of the name was vertically centred. You will need to remove the original numbers on the model before fitting the replacement decals - usually some methylated or white spirits on a cotton bud will lift off white printing. For 08543 "ROTHERWOOD" and also 08878 "GRIMESTHORPE", the added Tinsley snail was painted on the lower oval rivetted plate next to the cab side. The black numbered 08509 "WATH E.T.D" had numbers just above the oval plate instead of on the cab side, the name was in the usual position. "ESCAFELD" (the olde-English name for Sheffield) carried its numbers on the side of the box directly under the name, instead of on the cab side where silver BR arrows were fitted - the nose was without ladders. For one version of the name, "ESCAFELD" was carried as unique cast plates.
Each of the names modelled here are suitable for the standard BR blue paint livery, with the exceptions of:
- D8-2E - The black numbered version of 08509 "WATH E.T.D." for a 2-tone grey livery,
- D8-2Z - The current version of "THE TYKE" 08745 another 2-tone grey livery, and
- D8-2T and D8-2t - Heritage green versions of 08691 "ESCAFELD".
The real modern heritage green "ESCAFELD" carried painted resin cast plates for a time - these are represented in our D8-2t pack with decals as for the other flat painted names.
In the ordering tables below we note the naming date and key body features that we have seen in pictures of the engines as follows:
- B - left side nose end box fitted
- T - Middle boxes on both sides
- A - Cab end box on left side of cab
- ? - Unknown if boxes by cab, photo only of right hand side
- - - Boxes not fitted
- R - Cab doors have an indented rectangular panel
- S - Smooth faced cab doors
There have been two development batches of the decals - each is tabulated in number order below.
