HD Neverwazza transfers

[Leicester Thumper]

Hey folks,

 

Got a little restoration project on my hands of a 3 rail N2. I already own two of these, luckily different numbers/details, so this third one will go into something, hopefully, a bit different.

I have been toying with the idea of repainting the loco in GCR passenger green, however, I have hit a stumbling block with transfers. Fox transfers do the lining for the side tanks and bunkers, but i'm not well versed with transfers, so unfortunately i don't want risk making a mess of them. I know there are dedicated places to get Hornby Dublo transfers, but all of these seem to be original designs and not something different.

 

I just wondered does anyone have any recommendations for people who print custom transfers? my idea being that instead of searching for the GC writing for years, I could get some made that i can get on in one go. Presfix I would like to use because apparently this is easier than waterslide and meths fix. 

 

Any help would be appreciated.

Denis Williams, the Dublo Surgeon, does a lot of the Dublo styles But with a lot of variations not just the original numbers. I have used his 0-6-2, 2-6-4, A4's etc many times. They are unfortunately meths fix which you are not keen on but I like them better than any other. If you are unsure of their application I have done a video on YouTube abut using them.

Fox lining transfer sets are fine being waterslide.I use them almost to exclusion of other manufacturers transfers.The trick with lining tenders & other flat surfaces is to cut the lining transfer into four or possibly more,It`s much easier than trying to juggle a whole panel whilst trying to get the lines straight & they don`t dry so quickly,easy to apply with a small wet paint brush.As can be seen on the tender of my restored Barnstaple renamed Crediton.

Ooops... I read GNR not GCR! And forgot the fact this is a neverwazzas thread!

 

Drop me a PM with the dimensions for the relevant sections of the loco (I.E. which bits you require artwork for, a bit like the above sheet) and I'll see what I can do.

Nice!

 

I'll try and get them done if/when I get a spare moment.

A quick mock-up. I need to do the lettering properly.
