Title: The correct decals
Post by: Intercity on August 12, 2021, 02:29:07 AM
I am hoping the knowledgeable folks here can point me in the right direction, I have the Dapol Eastern region Blue/Grey HST set however the additional coaches are hard to find, I was looking to get some available Western region ones and replace the running numbers for Eastern region ones.

My question is which company and which decals produce the correct ones for these coaches.

Also there is a myriad of videos and threads on number removal and application, which ones have people found to work best for them?

Any help appreciated

I have the western set and found that all the available Coaches were first class only so couldn't build a prototypical rake either.

I tried renumbering some eastern coaches I found but hit a problem with the decals

The only ones I found were by Railtec but they only did number sets, they did not do the W or E letters.

The other issue with the Railtec decals was that they are quite a bit smaller than the ones used by Dapol, I ended up using them without any region letter, as they are so small no one can see them anyway.
