Hi, Im looking to renumbering some of my locos, WD Austrities, Black 5s 8fs ect in 00 gauge, ideally complete numbers, trying to line up individual numbers, I find difficult, are there any companies presently producing this type of thing?

Good steer from DIW. A couple more:

Cambridge Custom Transfers - although the advertised range is for wagons, why not contact John Isherwood and ask if he can do loco full numbers too?

Modelmaster did full numbers. Here is the pack for the Austerity 2-8-0 locos. The business was being transferred (due to, I believe, retirement of its owner)

Are Modelmasters still around? Last I heard about them was a litany of complaints over on RMWeb about money being taken but the goods never being supplied.

One option worth considering is to make your own if you have access to a computer and printer, along with some water slide decal paper which is widely available

You could try these:

Fox Transfers - A regular go-to

Railtec Transfers - If someone has already requested the number set you require, it could have been already added to the range

Hope this helps!
Thanks very much, Ill try those

Someone has mentioned Railtech above. If Steve doesn't have what you want listed, email him and he'll make them for you - and he'll even do all the research himself. I asked him for a HA class 20 number, and he asked me about the date, because the loco I wanted got a larger Scottish style number in 1980.
He's busy, so it'll take him a while to reply, but he will be able to help. They are top quality decals too.

I totally agree :) I had three Tinsley 45/0 sets - one of each coloured rose emblem - the quality of decal and carrier-film was exvellent.
