P.C.M Posted February 13, 2017 Share Posted February 13, 2017 Great news Alex, I was only thinking today when your website would be up and running. Just had a look and it's good to see you are going to do some 7mm numbers. I am sure you will do well it's a great product. All the best Peter.

Grimleygrid Posted February 13, 2017 Author Share Posted February 13, 2017 The idea behind the range of transfers was to offer individual number sets for locos that were made up as per the prototype where photographic evidence allowed. For my own models I produced dry rub down transfers which were modelled on the real loco. This is a very laborious process looking at the numbers and spacing to produce a replica number set. Very time consuming! The dry rub down transfers have the numbers already spaced out/aligned as per the prototype loco where photographic evidence was available and include; data panels and depot allocation stickers where present. This saves time aligning each digit and then adding the data panel etc. Here are two examples, see below: BR Corporate Blue 47322Large Logo 47441 Photo of Large Logo 47441 for reference: 47441 by Alan Monk, on Flickr For more information visit the Products page of the website:https://drdtransfers.com/products/ 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

cheesysmith Posted February 14, 2017 Share Posted February 14, 2017 Have you thought of doing the OHL flashes and the blue star MU symbols for those of us doing full repaint? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
F-UnitMad Posted February 14, 2017 Share Posted February 14, 2017 Have just sent in my order It's only for one 7mm loco, but as the phrase goes - "every little helps"... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grimleygrid Posted February 15, 2017 Author Share Posted February 15, 2017 Have you thought of doing the OHL flashes and the blue star MU symbols for those of us doing full repaint? Hi Cheesysmith, Initially I am looking to offer transfers of a single colour, white numbers etc. first followed by black in the near future. Having multiple colours increases the cost but it might be something to consider in the future. The blue stars are possible if there was enough demand for them. Other items that I am considering are; unofficial depot motifs; Toton Rabbit, Tinsley Snail, Margam sheep, Highland Stag and Thornaby Kingfisher, all in white. Something else that quite a few people have expressed an interest in is a sheet of numbers, data panels and depot allocation stickers. For both standard corporate blue and large logo. This is something that can be produced if there is enough demand. Have just sent in my order It's only for one 7mm loco, but as the phrase goes - "every little helps"... Thanks for your support. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
cravensdmufan Posted February 15, 2017 Share Posted February 15, 2017 (edited) Alex, may I suggest that you put the appropriate size BR double arrows on the sheets with the numbers? It would be nice to have the complete loco package on the sheet. Often, I have found that factory printed arrows are wrong size (my 20's were far too large, 46 too small) or fuzzy (OK I'm talking Lima here ) or the colour density isn't great. So it would be good to have the numbers and logos matching in quality. I am looking forward to receiving my Class 20 numbers, but now a bit concerned how to deal with the arrows. Don't want to mix rub down and waterslide on the same loco. Knowing me, it'd end up looking like a dogs breakfast!

(Edited to include futher explanation) Many thanks for your suggestion and support, I have sent you an email. It is something that we are considering as a separate offering and will make a decision once the arrows have been tested. One issue is for the larger double arrows and how they can be applied to classes with uneven body side surfaces such as 20s and 58s. I will of course update the website and this thread. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Classsix T Posted February 17, 2017 Share Posted February 17, 2017 Hi Alex, good luck with these, site bookmarked for my future reference, however... Far be it from me to suggest how people conduct their business, but some inter-linking with the Cavalex site might pay dividends if indeed Cav and your good self wish to keep these enterprises separate. Further, might I suggest PGA transfers (number sets incl. ROSCO plates) might be worthwhile in the near future? Merely my twopennorth suggestions Alex, nothing more. All the best, C6T.

Grimleygrid Posted February 22, 2017 Author Share Posted February 22, 2017 Hi C6T, many thanks for your suggestions. We will certainly consider looking at wagon data panels in the future if the initial range proves popular. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

tomstaf Posted February 23, 2017 Share Posted February 23, 2017 Great to see you bringing rub-down transfers back to market. Are your 7mm black loco numbers/data panels available yet? Have you got plans to do the more modern liveried number sets - I'm after Mainline blue and EWS types? Cheers Tom Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

sdw7300 Posted February 23, 2017 Share Posted February 23, 2017 Hi Alex. Just stumbled upon this thread. Great to have another option for transfers. Waterslides can be a bit of a p-i-t-a to get into the correct position! Can I suggest a sheet of the lifting / jacking point logos (a line with two circles below and a triangle above/below). They seem to be something often missed from most "complete loco" packs All the best Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have you got plans to do the more modern liveried number sets - I'm after Mainline blue and EWS types? Cheers Tom Hi Tom, I am planning to make the black numbers and data panels available in April. To be honest I was only really planning to offer BR period rather than modern but depending on the interest it might be considered. I have produced EWS numbers in the past for personal use so could easily add them to the range. However, I believe that the EWS require a licence to be reproduced which is something I will have to look into prior to releasing them. Not too sure about Mainline and Loadhaul. I will investigate further. Here are some EWS numbers produced for 60018 Hope that helps. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am going to produce some transfers in 2mm which Cav will test, hopefully if they are okay then these will be made available in April. Fingers crossed!
