Decal Help Needed

Recommended Posts

First off let me say that I am new to the LEGO Train scene and local LuGs are non-existing....

I am a fan of the L&N railroad(the Old Reliable, and Dixie line)but have not been able to find decals for a loco and rolling stock that will soon be finished....and well I am in need of what type of ink jet paper, web sites etc.......any help would be great!

Microscale ( www.microscale.com ) has the early and late gray and yellow lettering schemes in O scale (1/48) which is close enough to Lego which most people consider (1/40) for hood units and F units. They also sell decal paper they call in trim film.

Also Micromark ( www.micromark.com ) sells decal paper.

i... can't... wait..! Will those gray portholes be available? I'll be damned if I'll pay $35 per window... That SoBin' B-Unit expensive enough to piece together! :sceptic::classic:

Of course we will also include the portholes! The device can mix very well...

B.t.w. I still should create a new cost inventory but prices will at least not be higher than current ones from our site.

I use Papilio Inkjet Photo Glossy Adhesive Paper. It is a touch thick, but works well. It is glossy so really looks good next to the glossy finish of the LEGO brick. I think I am going to give the Papilio Inkjet Self-Adhesive Glossy Photo Film, it says it is thinner that the photo paper.

Here is what the photo paper looks like on a model:

More examples avaliable on my Brickshelf.
