JCClark Posted October 16, 2018 Share Posted October 16, 2018 Hi Lee I had the same problem with the decals on the Royal Scotsman 66 when I did the pair for a friend. I added some PVA to the water in the waterslide water and it helped them adhere to the ribs better. I only did this on the second loco I did and it was certainly better than the first one I did.

Regards John I have been having issues with some old stock EWS transfers lifting from the flat sides of a model, I think because the glue has had it. I will give this a try and see if it solves it!Thanks Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

blueeighties Posted October 24, 2018 Author Share Posted October 24, 2018 Afternoon guys. Just a quick heads up for some excellent customer service from a custom transfer supplier. http://www.precisionlabels.com/ Ordered a few custom numbersets yesterday afternoon....they arrived this morning!! Truly outstanding, we are all busy, but this sort of service is so refreshing when there are suppliers out there who don't even offer the courtesy of an email response to a query. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JCClark Posted October 25, 2018 Share Posted October 25, 2018 Afternoon guys. Just a quick heads up for some excellent customer service from a custom transfer supplier. http://www.precisionlabels.com/ Hi Lee I sent an email to John Peck asking whether He did any decals to re-number and letter my Hornby IC Swallow Mk3 coaches. An hour later, I had a reply requesting photos, sent the photos and then less than two hours later received an ordering link!! Decals arrived following day. This is not the first time I have dealt with Precisionlabels and always had fantastic service. Note with His GBRf 60095 set, there are even the sole bar decals included! Best regards John Ordered a few custom numbersets yesterday afternoon....they arrived this morning!! Truly outstanding, we are all busy, but this sort of service is so refreshing when there are suppliers out there who don't even offer the courtesy of an email response to a query.

Andrew F Posted October 27, 2018 Share Posted October 27, 2018 I prefer stuff like that. There was a lot of mish/mash in BR days but that may be improbable ......or not! I've seen far more unconvincing stuff in real life. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope these images are helpful. The first one shows the solder track that needs to be scraped away, I then connect the lamp negative feed, resistor if required depending on what kind of leds you are using. Posotive feed gets attached to the central point as per image 2. 37 board b by rothburyuk, on Flickr 37 board c by rothburyuk, on Flickr Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
