Hi everybody, I'm new here. Over the past 6 months I've rekindled my interest in railway modelling in general and '80s era BR in particular.

My first post on here is a request for information if anybody can help.

I've created a 4mm rendition of 97405 in the last few months of her operational life, and I need some detail of the unofficial, painted nameplate she corried through this period, a photo or drawing would be ideal. As far as I can determine from other other sources, the name was 'Ancient Mariner' in yellow on a red background, but I can find no detail of the size, typeface, or crest.

Does anyonoe else recollect this loco?
