im going to kitbash a hornby live steam seagull to dominion of new zealand. to do this i will put a single chimney and get some fox transfers. just looking on the fox site you can get the name pates in either red or black, im wondering what colour this loco would have had ex works. basically im wanting to model it as new so would have stainless steel lettering and numbers on it and the strip along the bottom of the valances.
also does anyone know of a good way to remove the old transfers off the hornby models as im unsure if meths/thinners may damage the body shell etc.
thanks

Don't know, but there's a few in the NRM and New Zealand was up on the balcony before they closed it and emptied it, so I don't know where it is now!

I think the nameplates were red originally and black in BR days (not sure about war time).
I read an article in a modeling magazine the other day that recommended Microscale Microsol. Apply, leave on for a few minutes and rub off with cotton buds. I offer no guarantees that I remembered this correctly!!
