Nameplates - Capital letters in different sizes
I can't find the original post now, and the search facility won't "play ball" with my choice of search words , but I'm sure I noticed earlier that somebody had queried as "unusual" (possibly on an industrial loco?) the use of "all capitals" on a nameplate but with a larger capital letter to start a word. I had no time to reply at the time, but was surprised that somebody thought such nameplates unusual, so I've just double checked a few pictures. It was a standard style on GCR loco nameplates, at least.

Re: Nameplates - Capital letters in different sizes
Guilty as charged M'lud I have M&W Nameplate DESPATCH behind me as i write, It was a general enquiry as i thought that it should be capitals for all letters(same size) or capital letter to start followed by lower case.
