Traditional Signwriting

[harry_monk]

I’m wondering if there are any fleets left who still use traditional “paintbrush and mahlstick” signwriting? Anyone got any pics if so?

I think I saw in a truck mag Crouch’s recovery use a proper signwriter.

Only ever had vinyl myself, what’s the situation when you come to sell and want to remove it? Does it wipe off with a solvent?

AFAIK Prestons of Potto still signwrite their units.

J R Adams who I’m working for now are mostly proper signwritten, see the pics in the old timers forum.
Unfortunately mine is just white with vinyl stickers
