You won't be disappointed buddy, Steve Johnson is excellent to deal with and produces some lovely work.

Good choice !

 

I went to see Steve yesterday to pick up some coaches he’s weathered for me....inc the suburbans that TMC originally weathered, I felt their weathering was a little ‘flat’ and ‘lifeless’

 

Steve’s work is superb! His attention to detail is second to none and he’s a really nice guy to deal with, friendly and helpful

 

Also Allan makes a cracking cuppa!

The crumbling carrier film is usually caused by old age and improper storage. An overspray with a clear gloss finish before use usually makes them workable.

 

My choice for setting solution is Solvaset which is very aggressive but really settles the decals over any ribs and rivets.

 

My experience with the excellent Railtech decals has shown that a setting solution is detrimental, especially anything with a white component to it. I have found that is causes them to curl up instead of snuggle down, and they then resist any attempt to flatten them.
