Hi folks,
work on the Claud is progressing. As some were based in Norwich (and I have a very good friend there) I am planning to get a matching shedplate for Norwich Shed (32A).
Which supplier would you suggest?
BEst regards
Holger

Peter took over from Bill Hall making locomotive and wagon plates.

Diane Carney makes good but expensive plates and my set (to my surprise) were not supplied cut and painted.

Scrat,
From your previous posts and from those I have seen on the LNER forum you have finished your very nice locomotive in GER livery (right or wrong) so it would not be correct to fit a 32A smokebox door shed plate, since this would be a post 1948 fitting associated with British Railways ownership.
I am not aware how GER displayed the shed allocation on it's locomotives, so I don't know how you would be able to show your model was a Norwich engine. If no one knows on this forum I'm sure there will be a positive response if you asked on the LNER site.
