As some of you may know, We currently have some 'Taw Vale' nameplates being made, Many thanks to Simon at the Taw Vale forum, These are being made by the lovely people at Fox Transfers As these plates are not prototypical, I though I would add an un-prototypical numbering to my Class 60. There was 100 class 60's built in the UK at Brush works, I have the unique Class 60 101.

While at the DEMU showcase at Burton-On-Trent, I had a little chat to the modelling expert James Makin. And he suggested taking the existing numbering off with a curved blade. So I thought I would give it ago. Its turned out very well indeed.
James also mentioned adding a coat of varnish to it afterwards. As this process takes away some of the original coating.
