Pete Robinson, a GL5 member has started producing headboards and plates. They're beautifully made and hand painted and I can vouch for them having bought the Cambrian Coast Express and The Royal Duchy. A couple can be found for sale here:

There's now a Pembroke Coast Express headboard now for sale too. It is made from nickle and the back ground colour is black. Would really set off any BR western region or GWR 5" gauge locomotives. It is fitted with an offset lamp bracket suitable for most GWR or BR Western region smoke box lamp brackets. It is 95mm x 40mm in dimensions at the furthest points.

I thought a few GL5 members might appreciate seeing a few of Pete's GWR headboards on a GWR locomotive. They really do set off the loco superbly and for more information and prices he can be contacted at Peter Robinson (
pannierpedro@hotmail.com). Other BR headboards are also in stock so it's advised you contact him if you have a particular one in mind for your engine. I've also spoken to Pete and he's shortly going to produce the drawings for a Southern series of headboards including ones such as The Man of Kent.
