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.

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.

Hi Dave a beautiful scratch built loco you have done a fantastic job. As for transfers its your build mate put what you would like on.

Very, very nice.

I would just line the tender to match the loco if it was mine.

[IrishPeter]

I'd just line it out.

I agree with Jim and Peter, line it out to match the loco. Nice job on the loco, and also that cattle wagon.
