simon hudson Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 ModelMasters used to do some for wagons.I made my own for my Lambton austerity.I think you will struggle to get some commercially.I basically studied plenty of photographs on the LambtonLoco trust site.I also summise that each area would have it's own style Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
37255 Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 Fox do some very basic ones, and they're alright... As with so many things, it's a toss-up between the interest of custom transfers and the easy availability/reasonable price of Fox's! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

simon hudson Posted March 9, 2013 Share Posted March 9, 2013 From what I have seen trawling the net and looking at photo's (plus a 50 odd yr old dodgey memory)most loco's in the Durham area had yellow/gold/cream shaded lettering and numbers.I'm not sure about other group areas, plus fonts seemed to vary.As I stated earlier I ended up making my own using Crafty Computer white decal sheet being a complete ludite it took me a while to do it but it is fairly straight forward I played about in word with different fonts and shading the resultant decals are ok but they are'nt as vibrant as I would like but I use an ink jet printer. I know there are a few threads on here re making your own transfers well worth a look at It is a while since I made them but to create the shading I did a box in word of the letters I wanted then made an other box and superimposed it.I seem to recall I had to do the shaded bits first then finish of with the main letter.

RMweb Gold RThompson Posted March 9, 2013 RMweb Gold Share Posted March 9, 2013 I suppose I better let the cat out of the bag. At the moment I am designing for 2mm, 4mm and 7mm scale NCB transfers trying to cover as many of the Different styles as possible, working and area names. I'm still designing it and hopefully fingers crossed I'll have the funds to pay for them at the end of the month to start production as its not cheap having them professionally done. If you want quality you have to pay for it! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Muddle and Get Nowhere Posted March 9, 2013 Share Posted March 9, 2013 Old time workshop do them for wagons,I don't know about locomotives though.There is a great variety of different decals in each pack,which does for 20 wagons.These can be used for locos too, I used them on my j94 and they looked fine.
