Etched Great Western Railway-style name and numberplates to commemorate the ascendance of King Charles III to the throne.

These are designed to glue directly over the Hornby name/numberplates and as such are quite thin, requiring careful handling.
Some trimming of the original plates may be required.

Choose from 2 number options:

6027 follows on from the GWR’s tradition of renaming the next highest number King Class locomotive (6029 King Stephen became King Edward VIII, 6028 King Henry II became King George VI), in this case King Richard I would be renamed King Charles III.

6030 is an additional locomotive, adding one onto the existing 6000-6029 series.

2 nameplates are supplied, along with 2 cabside numberplates. For those modelling British Railways era, a smokebox numberplate is also included.

The price includes UK postage.

All the profits from the sale of these plate sets will go to the Jessie May Childrens Hospice at Home.

How to Fit the Etched Plates

Carefully cut the tabs with a sharp modelling knife/scalpel. Use a jewellery file to clean up the edges where the tabs were (hold the plate between thumb and forefinger and be gentle - it doesn’t take much to bend the plate!).
I suggest using Roket Card Glue or other PVA to avoid misting issues from superglue. Use a cocktail stick to add a few blobs onto the existing name and number plate.
Place the etched plate over the original. I used some small paint pots to weigh it down and prevent it from bending.
Leave it for the glue to set and hey presto! You have a renumbered and renamed King.
