More international business....

These plates now announce an impressive 7.25" Loco near Barcleona, Spain.

The dull patches in the centre of the 'A' and 'R' are caused wax polish residue, it goes white when it dries. It does like to hide in little places like this, we use cotton wool buds to get it out but it does catch you out now and then.

This plate, made for advertising purposes, gives and idea what we can do with smokebox plates.

Another advert plate, showing that shape isn't a limit.

Plaque made for Cellar Gate 6.5" x 4.75" x 1/4" thick Brass

Small plates

These 4 plates made for Roanoke measure just 3.5" x 0.75".

Smaller plates cost less in materials but have the same costs as larger ones in terms of enamelling etc. Smaller tools have to be used to cut the lettering at slower feed rates, resulting in overall cost not far off a plate twice the size.

A good way of illustrating this effect is to think about the cost of Jewellery, not very large against other metalworking items but often more expensive, even when made in cheaper metals.
