Diesel & Electric Detailing 4mm > Pressfix Transfers

The lining on this sheet is suitable for certain GWR locos 1900 - 1906, most lined GWR locos 1906-1948 and for lined locos in the BR green livery.

The main items provided are three types of tender side and back panels, cabside and splasher panels, boiler bands, buffer beam edge lining (not used after 1939) name and number plate lines, cylinder cover panels and footplate edge lines (the latter two item again not generally used after 1939).

Before World War 1, all passenger engines were lined. For this period not all required shapes can be catered for on the sheet but most can be obtained by careful cutting and fitting,

From 1915 - 1923 no engines were lined.

In 1923 lining was re-introduced only on the 4-4-0 County, Saint, Star and Castle classes. Kings and Halls later joined the list.

Lining vanished again during World War 2. It returned in 1945 for the 4-6-0 County class and was subsequently applied to Castles, Kings and Halls but without lining below the footplate.

After 1948, the 1945 GWR livery was continued by BR for lined green engines, except that cabside lining did not continue to the top, but formed a panel below the windows.

Cylinder covers had a vertical stripe of boiler band type lining at each end.

This popular sheet covers steam, diesel and coaching stock of this period. Loco numbers, "lion on wheel" symbols, electrification flashes, coach brandings etc.

Another comprehensive sheet containing numbering, double arrows, coach and unit brandings plus some early HST brandings.

BR MIXED TRAFFIC (LINED BLACK) LOCOMOTIVES
Minor variations of style occurred between regions and between classes of locos, so consult photos whenever possible. Upper cabsides were normally unlined, but some cabs with uninterrupted flat sides (e.g. SR t9) were lined all round. Lower cabsides, bunker sides and tank sides each carried a panel of lining nominally 5 inches (1.7mm in 4mm scale) from the outer edge, with corners and curves to suit the outer shape. Reversed corners with red outside are provided for re-entrant angles. Larger reversed curves can be found among the LNWR shapes. Use close spaced lines for footplate edges if they are very narrow - on wider ones use lines of normal spacing. Standard splasher lining was grey and red round the outside with a horizontal line of red only just above the footplate, but sometimes both colours were continued all round the splasher. Ex-LMS tank locos mostly seem to have had no splasher lining at all. Each boiler band had a double red line. Tender sides were mostly lined in a rectangular panel as on the LNWR, though sometimes on flush-sided tenders the lining followed the shape of the tender top. Steps, tender frames and other items below the footplate were unlined.
