Are there any GWR "Pressfix" type transfers available in N/2mm scale?

I'm pretty sure all the N lettering these days is water slide. You might find old Pressfix sheets in rumage bins at exhibitions.

I have a bunch in the stash. However, there are better quality ones as water transfers.

Railtec make a small selection of BR blue era rub-on transfers but no GWR.

Waterslide transfers must have come on a lot since I last use any, twenty five plus years ago.
Looks like Fox waterslide transfers are the only ones and available and suitable for what I need. Not really a fan of waterslide transfers.
I made some 00 gauge wagons back in the late 90s, the Pressfix transfers look as fresh as the day I did them. The waterslides I used have lifted off some of the wagons, others have cracked and most have gone yellow. I did use decal fix and sealed with varnish, also there's the annoying carrier film that you get with them.

Pressfix decals are available from the HMRS, but only for 4mm and 7mm scales

Hi

Did you gloss varnish first? I use water slide transfers all the time and don't get any visible carrier film when applied over gloss and then sealed with the finish of your choice.

Yes applied with either an air brush or from a aerosol can.
