Re: first scratch built train
Lovely looking loco. There is somebody on the Facebook garden railways trading group who offer transfers and from memory and custom print. Can't remember who as never needed them.
Re: first scratch built train
They have whatever you want to put on it. Its your loco, your railway, you say what goes.
Hwever if it was mine I'd probably have the name or initials of the railway on the tende,r and the loco's fleet number on the cabside.
Nice model btw.

Beautiful looking loco.
I don't tend to put anything on my locos other than their number, nameplate and maker's plate. But, as others have said, it's up to you. I'd take a look at pictures of real life NG locos and get a feel for what's on them.

Very, very nice.
I would just line the tender to match the loco if it was mine.

If at first you don't succeed, use a bigger hammer!

Traffic Pattern? What pattern? Spuds out; grain in, but cattle, sheep and passengers are a lot less predictable.
Re: first scratch built train
I agree with Jim and Peter, line it out to match the loco. Nice job on the loco, and also that cattle wagon.
