Title: Custom Transfers/Decals
Post by: mk1gtstu on January 10, 2022, 05:25:03 PM
Hi all,

Is there anyone out there able to make me up some custom transfers (or knows someone who can) for one of my steam loco projects please?

It's for an NCB loco Llantanam Abbey. Just need the lettering on both water tanks (black with yellow outline) & the cab logos (yellow lettering & white black logo), links to photos of the real thing here.

You could make them yourself. If you go over to RM Web and do a search for decals you will find loads of info...and some people that might do this for you. However, as said, it isn't that difficult to do provided you have the artwork.   https://www.rmweb.co.uk/community/index.php?/home/ (https://www.rmweb.co.uk/community/index.php?/home/)

When I needed custom decals for some coal wagons a few years ago, I just searched on google for 'bespoke decals for model railway' and chose a few of the names which came up to ask for quotes. I don't remember paying a lot for the decals. I did try making my own, but my printer could not print small enough to give a good result. I'd like to know how you get on as now I'm back modelling N gauge again (retired!) I will be needing some too.
