Hello all.
I have a closet interest in London Transport (Met Railway), particularly the loco hauled "Dreadnought" stock (I have five vehicles) and the electric locos (I have one to build). My difficulty is the lack of transfers for these vehicles, both the London TransporT logo and the loco and rolling stock numbers. There's no problem with the lining of the locos which I can do by hand. I know that Radley can provide transfers but I'm sorry to say that they are not "right". (I also have a Fairburn tank to build which hauled the trains beyond Rickmansworth for a few years but that's no problem as the BR transfers are easily available.)
Being basically a lazyb***er person I don't particularly want to make a special trip to the LT Museum in order to measure and photograph these details, but I guess I may have to unless someone on this group knows of a source - or does someone have dimensioned drawings or photos?
I'll be very grateful for any help with this. I've involved the HMRS Met Railway Steward but that hasn't come up with anything. I know that Transport for London are protective of this trademark and that may be the reason for the absence of available transfers.
