rob D2 Posted June 17, 2014 Share Posted June 17, 2014 Hi, Just wondered what the best option for decals is ? Fox seem to do them but individual spots, rather than whole panel Railtec do them but have a grey background , so I'm guessing you cut each dot out individually Model masters come with 0O00 ones as well which don't look accurate to my eyes ( more 0000) Any thoughts on what to use ? Cheers Rob Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

rob D2 Posted June 17, 2014 Author Share Posted June 17, 2014 Nice idea, but I don't have a printer at present and I really want decal quality as such, Thanks anyway Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
steveb860 Posted June 18, 2014 Share Posted June 18, 2014 Precision labels do self adhesive domino head codes which I used successfully on my Bachmann 47's. Don't forget to remove any raised marker lights first, especially if using 47035 as a base model Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
rob D2 Posted June 18, 2014 Author Share Posted June 18, 2014 Thanks steve, Can you remember which pack ? Do they just stick on the outside of the panel ? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
rob D2 Posted June 21, 2014 Author Share Posted June 21, 2014 Ok, I got some. Removed the bachy light bars by pushing them out the body, ground them down so they don't protrude, replaced them. Ground down the edges of the marker light housing. Applied stickers. Not perfect, but we are dealing with the limitations of what is effectively a small sticker. Subsequent locos I may try the water slide decals, filling the marker holes and filing flat - we will be losing the lights though in that case.

steveb860 Posted June 21, 2014 Share Posted June 21, 2014 Sorry Rob, missed your earlier post, and it was a few years since I purchased mine. I sprayed mine with Klear to give them a glossy look more akin to Perspex. Not perfect, but probably the best available, and the lights shine through too.
