Title: Wagons Transfers help
Post by: PinkNosedPenguin on February 23, 2014, 11:38:44 AM
Hi guys, I have some old 7 plank Peco wagon kits that I plan to bring back into use by painting grey with white stripe as per this picture (which is of a new Farish wagon from the Hattons website):

Wagon (http://www.flickr.com/photos/105731862@N02/12716764435/#) by PinkNosedPenguin (http://www.flickr.com/people/105731862@N02/), on Flickr

My question is: where can I get transfers for the white numbers on black background to finish off the wagons? I've looked on the N Gauge Society website (and number 2605 on this page http://www.ngaugesociety.com/uploads/Modelmaster/BRandPOwagons.doc.pdf (http://www.ngaugesociety.com/uploads/Modelmaster/BRandPOwagons.doc.pdf) looks like it might be what I want) but I can't see pictures or samples of any of the decals to be sure what they are (in my ignorance  :-[). So, if you know, please tell me!  :D

I cannot help you with this but there are a few members who probably could and I am sure once they come online you will get some answers  :thumbsup:

cheers John.

precision decals do custom wagon panels to order. Modelmaster also cover some wagons as do fox transfers

Well, one answer I have found for myself is Cambridge Custom Transfers - I will need items BL7 and BL43 as listed here: http://www.cctrans.freeserve.co.uk/products.htm (http://www.cctrans.freeserve.co.uk/products.htm)

Why don't you paint in the black areas and then add standard white transfers on top? It would make your search a whole lot easier.
