If anyone has recently bought the new Heljan 33/1 as I have and noticed there are no headcode sheets, I have got hold of the font to make them up.

Problem is, what size to use? I'll probably use red blanks on one end and either 92, 99 or the ubiquitous 62 on the other.

Anyone know? Or if you could colour photocopy or scan a spare sheet that would be grand.

Entirely up to you but why put numbers? I cut out the letters and had red headcodes one end and the good old EH at the other, you could put EH (Eastleigh), SL (Stewarts Lane) or whatever Southern region depot you fancy, also means you won't get no smart ass saying thats the wrong headcode for the train its pulling! :)

I could put letters, although for freight I'd more than likely just use white blanks. Problem is, I need the size to get it right. I might take a vernier to the ones already supplied (the new issue comes without the sheet and the codes pre-installed) to get the size then use the closest I can get the printer to put out...

In the cab with the paper
I found the headcodes for my Crompton tucked away inside the folds of the instruction sheets. Mind you, it was a very tiny piece of paper.

Couldn't you just contact Heljan and ask them for a sheet...?
