I'm not normally a gauge one modeller. So I don't have a huge stock of suitably sized bits to delve into when finishing a model locomotive in this scale.
Which means the Ruston was never going to get the right sized transfers. I simply don't have anything big enough. It's not helped by the prototype having stupidly oversized numbers. The paint shop probably just used what they had in stock.
But, by using the biggest 4mm ones I had - those not used by the express locos I don't build - the result isn't bad. If you don't know the prototype or want it to look nice. What this shows is that a step up into the G1 world is available to everyone. And that you can ignore the notes on the side of a packet telling you which scales parts are for. Make your own mind up.
