mike tugsandsheds Posted April 3, 2010 Share Posted April 3, 2010 Hi I just wanted to let everyone know of the service I recived from John at Precision. I have to admit of being a tad sceptical given that II've always used etched Headbords & Nameplates from Fox, Shawplan or 247 However I'm really pleased with the results on both my ATW & DRS 57's. Order was dispatched within a couple of days and was able to use paypal. Highly Recommended !! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
43179 Posted April 4, 2010 Share Posted April 4, 2010 Seconded ! - Johns saved my bacon many a time producing custom transfers when I've not been able to get suitable from Fox or Modelmaster. It seems the man never sleeps either - no matter what time you email , he replies a few mintues later - even if its at 4am Jon Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flood Posted February 3, 2011 Share Posted February 3, 2011 I sent a request to John late last night and had his reply waiting for me this morning. After he produced me some custom lettering for a BG last year he's now going to do some number sets for me in a size other manufacturers don't do. I can't say how highly I praise John for the help and service which he offers and for a reasonable price as well. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium newbryford Posted March 10, 2011 RMweb Premium Share Posted March 10, 2011 Thanks to John, I now have a renumbered Bachmann 70. Extremely patient and understanding when I supplied him with some incorrect dimensions The replacements arrived within 36 hours..

smg201 Posted March 24, 2011 Share Posted March 24, 2011 I too wanted to join in on the praise of John and Precision Decals/Labels. I have recently purchased the Wrexham and Shropshire decals for some silver coaches. (www.precisionlabels.com/d69.html) These are outstanding decals, alot of research and effort has clearly gone into them. Im very impressed and just wanted to share my thoughts publically. Attached a pic too for full effect.... 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Horsetan Posted March 24, 2011 Share Posted March 24, 2011 Precision Labels do some very good translucent headcode blinds which I bought recently for the Heljan Hymek. As they are printed "on a roll" just like the real things, there is theoretically the ability to have working blinds that you can (manually) revolve. I want to have a go at this!! The delivery service is basically next-day, in the same manner as Mainly Trains. All you do is click your mouse, blink, and your order hits your doormat in 24 hours. In today's society which "wants it now, wants it yesterday", this is pretty good going. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium newbryford Posted November 28, 2011 RMweb Premium Share Posted November 28, 2011 Yet another fine delivery of transfers from John at Precision Labels for some upcoming projects - DBS red and Colas. And he's just promised me a set for a very special project........................ hopefully they arrive in the next couple of days.

RMweb Premium newbryford Posted January 8, 2013 RMweb Premium Share Posted January 8, 2013 (edited) Yet another "plus 1" for John at Precision for supplying a couple of bespoke sets of transfers quickly. Cheers, Mick Edited January 8, 2013 by newbryford Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
-missy- Posted January 8, 2013 Share Posted January 8, 2013 And another +1 Fantastic service from the guy and I have plans to use him again for a few other projects. Top quality transfers at a price that makes it not worth the effort to do them myself. Missy Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
stewartingram Posted January 8, 2013 Share Posted January 8, 2013 I've just had a quick look at Precision's website and admit I am impressed. However I want some custom transfers, and do not feel up to designing them. If I supplied a broadside photo, and basic colouring, would they do them? The 2 subjects I want are (1) alternative numbering/letters for a Model Rail Sentinel (2) department No.91 & cabside lettering to renumber a Bachmann green 03. Neither are particularly complicated I would have thought. Stewart Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium Dalesman Posted February 11, 2013 RMweb Premium Share Posted February 11, 2013 I can also add a "plus one" for John. Set of bespoke transfers for an SWT 455/7 project, delivered in a couple of days and of excellent quality! Chris Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Andy7 Posted April 11, 2015 RMweb Gold Share Posted April 11, 2015 Ordered Colas 60096 transfers from Precision Decals about 8 months ago and the transaction went super smooth as always, done! Then this morning an envelope from Precision, I open it to find the new style Colas hats as fitted to 60096 which has just completed its overhaul for Colas. I was amazed and very happily surprised. Bearing in mind 8 months plus had passed and I wasn't even expecting it , that really is great customer service. Thanks very much, keep up the great work. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest eddie reffin Posted August 23, 2015 Share Posted August 23, 2015 Just like to add my thanks to John for the First group logos for my Dapol 156. Prompt service and easy to deal with. They arrived well packed and top quality printing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mick Boyd Posted February 4, 2018 Share Posted February 4, 2018 Early last week I ordered a set of 'O' scale wagon TOPS data panels from John using his custom template (D19-A), I was amazed at the quick turnaround when the order arrived two days later. I was so impressed with the quality and service that on Friday I ordered a similar set of data panels for a Ragstone Models Carflat, similar transfers had been on order from another supplier for a couple of years but so far have failed to appear. I was even more amazed yesterday (Saturday) when the transfers arrived less than 24 hours after ordering them. 1st class service. Thank you John. Regards, Mick. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JCClark Posted February 4, 2018 Share Posted February 4, 2018 (edited) Hi If you have a look at post #176 in Layouts - Parkway Modern Image you will see the superb decals that adorn my re-spray of FGW PC Celebrating the Queens Diamond Jubilee. Very accurate and a joy to apply - well done and thank you John John Edited February 4, 2018 by JCClark Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Red Fox Posted April 19, 2018 RMweb Gold Share Posted April 19, 2018 Was surprised to received a letter from Precision Labels yesterday containing amendments to the First Great Western Local Lines 153 pack which I purchased from them in December. This is the latest example of excellent customer service I have received from John at Precision Labels. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
cravensdmufan Posted June 20, 2019 Share Posted June 20, 2019 I'd never heard about this firm until I Googled a search for replacement steps for my Hornby Class 50 so placed an order. They arrived the next day! Nice steps - they are plastic, but stronger and better than the originals. Delighted with the product along with the excellent service.

87023Velocity Posted October 28, 2019 Share Posted October 28, 2019 Just to say what a brilliant service Precision Labels provide. I made an enquiry in early September for some custom decals so I could complete a respray of a Dapol 142. Less than 48 hours after the initial enquiry, John had them prepared. Both units are complete, even included destination panels, unit and vehicle numbers. Here is one of the 2 completed 142's in ex GMPTE livery with First North Western logos. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Kylestrome Posted May 12, 2020 RMweb Premium Share Posted May 12, 2020 I've just used Precision Labels for the first time, and to say that I'm impressed would be an understatement. I ordered a custom decal sheet on Thursday afternoon, with my artwork sent by email. They were delivered to me in Germany on Monday morning! Absolutely amazing service from John Peck and pretty speedy first class airmail too. The decals themselves are the thinnest I've ever used and the carrier film just 'disappears' once they are set.

sulzer27jd Posted May 12, 2020 Share Posted May 12, 2020 I have used John a few times now and always had excellent service and good advice. The decals themselves are indeed very fine and leave a great result. The map and fine text on this example came out really well. John Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
