NathanR Posted October 19, 2016 Posted October 19, 2016 I missed out on 10194 Emerald Night when it was released back in 2009, so over the last couple of months I’ve been buying the bricks for the steam engine via bricklink. I sacrificed the gold stripe round the boiler to keep it affordable (it halved the cost!) but now I've built it, I'm finding it looks a little bland without the stickers to add details like the engine number or nameplate. I'm a bit reluctant to buy a genuine sticker sheet for the set because they're so expensive on bricklink, especially when shipping to the UK is taken into account. I have seen custom printed replacement sticker sheets for various older Lego sets on eBay though (e.g. the Star Wars UCS line, and a few of the classic 9V trains from the 90s). Do you know if anyone sells replacement stickers for the Emerald Night? Quote
garethjellis Posted October 19, 2016 Posted October 19, 2016 Speak with Terry Akuna, he can print bricks for you, including the stripe on the slope. Quote

JopieK Posted October 19, 2016 Posted October 19, 2016 We also have them in our ministickers store. They are difficult to print without a machine that can print white and metallic (our machine does). We don't have the ones for the slopes at this moment though. Quote
NathanR Posted October 19, 2016 Author Posted October 19, 2016 Ooh, I hadn't seen your website before. I'm not bothered about the slopes, I can live without the stripes on the boiler, and I really like the alternative sticker set to turn it into Flying Scotsman Can you give me an idea what shipping to the UK would be?

In the next couple months I will need to figure out how to get a pretty detailed design in white on a black 1x1 tile. Do you print on the pieces or create stickers? NathanR, I do not mean to hijack your topic but this is very relevant to me. Quote
JopieK Posted October 19, 2016 Posted October 19, 2016 @NathanR: shipping would be a stamp, (€1,25) @Alco: We could but since it is very busy at this time... I still have some backorders that really should have been produced already. We don't print on parts, we print on white and/or transparent vinyl (Roland Versacamm VS300 printer/cutter). Quote

NathanR Posted October 20, 2016 Author Posted October 20, 2016 @JopieK Brilliant, just placed my order! @ALCO Feel free to hijack the thread, I'm also interested in custom prints/sticker designs Quote
jrathfon Posted October 20, 2016 Posted October 20, 2016 FYI, for striping, this stuff works great: https://amzn.com/B001BHK3SU It's easy to use with an x-acto knife. Lay on brick and trim. Quote
