westernviscount Posted February 18, 2020 Share Posted February 18, 2020 (edited) Hi folks, I was wondering if anyone could point me in the direction of suitable decals to finish a Dapol scammel scarab kit in br yellow with early railfreight/door to door logo? Basically...like this... Many thanks! Dave Edited February 18, 2020 by westernviscount Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have made my own for this livery using transfer paper. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
westernviscount Posted February 20, 2020 Author Share Posted February 20, 2020 Thanks Merfyn, I suspected this might be the case. It would probably be cheaper for me just to buy the oxford diecast version as i don't have a fleet i want to do. Something to think about. Your vehicles look excellent. What kits are these? Great looking models. Many thanks Dave Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Merfyn Jones Posted February 20, 2020 Share Posted February 20, 2020 The Scarab 3 ton is by Bachmann. The Townsman is a Corgi with a modified trailer. The Walkthru is a Efsi cab grafted to a Corgi BRS Noddy Van body. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

In case you're going to look for these I believe it's Woodhead Transfers. Sometimes can be found at exhibitions in the forgotten about boxes.

Modelmaster transfers refer to the "honeycomb" logo for containers. Many thanks for the reply! Dave Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was a box at my local model shop that has a ton of defunct transfers. trouble is, when flicking through you never know what you are going to regret not buying. If i had the means i would have bought the lot! i am pretty sure i never saw this logo set though. cheers Dave Edited February 20, 2020 by westernviscount Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Logo came from a photo of a preserved one originally, but the one above came off the internet. I have always known it as the flying crate from back in the 60s.

hmrspaul Posted February 20, 2020 Share Posted February 20, 2020 I'll admit I hadn't noticed that the 3D flying box was a different colour on the road vehicles compared to on the containers - my few are all b/w! Must have been fairly short lived as the Bedford vans appear to have been delivered with a red BR double arrow (there are several on my site as Staines had them scattered around the yard doing nothing when newly delivered) , and NCL followed quite soon.

Steamport Southport Posted February 20, 2020 Share Posted February 20, 2020 A bit of a blast from the past, but have you tried Mabex? I believe they are still available as I saw a list recently.
