An improbable, funny, but absolutely true story relating to the Kineton military railway.Long after my Army days I still retained an affection and passing interest in Kineton ammunition depot where I served during the 1960s. Coupled to a 'love' of…Continue

Hi,
I'm working on a 5" gauge model of SMJ 16. I'd like to make some nameplates for this loco and I need some details to make these as realistic as possible.
Did any SMJ locos ever have nameplates ? If so does anybody have any pictures or details of these ? My current plan is to fit the plates to the sides of the smokebox. Any details about the size of these plates and the font used would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Steven

Cheers,
