I've added another couple of nameplate designs to www.Loco-Plates.co.uk. Inspired by the lettering used on Great Western nameplates, add some extra brasswork and a touch of GWR individuality to your 16mm locos!

Nameplates are supplied in pairs, choice of mounting options, simply attach to your loco with double sided tape, or for a more permanent fitting, purchase a set of plates with 1mm holes drilled and bolt to locomotive with a pair of 14 BA machine screws.

The Loco-Plates website has had a small update and a number of great new products added!

These cab fronts are a straight swap for your old Mamod cab front. The half cab back and half open cab design allow easy access to the displacement lubricator and gas filler (if fitted) The rolled roof sheet on the Manning Wardle inspired cab sheet conveniently disguises the pipework and the various upgrades in the cab and makes for a very neat installation. To fit these parts you'll need to drill out several rivets on your loco.

Parts are lasercut from 0.7mm mild steel sheet, supplied unpainted and lightly oiled for corrosion protection. Will require degreasing with cellulose thinners and priming and painting. Ferrous Oxide or zinc primer and car paints are absolutely ideal for this.
