strategy for custom decals?

ChrisR All Messages By This Member #27649 This is probably not the correct group for this, any pointers to a Model Railroad group that could address this appreciated? I'm trying to figure out the best way to get a "custom" decal for an HO locomotive. I have an? unlettered HO tender and I want to put a road number on it, e.g. '4193' What is the best way to get the decals for the digits? Do people cut out the individual numbers from a sheet and butt them together, or are there vendors that print custom decals? If I cut out the individual numbers and butt them together, I'm concerned about getting the alignment and spacing right. Thanks for any pointers. ------------------------------ Please sign your posts so we know who you are Thanks Bruce Wilson Moderating Team/Owner

Scott Baxter All Messages By This Member #27652 I'm interested in this subject. I have a need to print decals for some of my favorite shortline railroads. In fact, I recently purchased a Canon laser printer?to utilize the white toners available from a company in Germany, just as soon as I can justify to my better-half why I need to spend hundreds of dollars to print a handful of decals? Anyway, Shortline/fictional railroads are certainly part of small layout design. So let's hear what others are doing? Scott Baxter ??

Phil Edholm Member Profile All Messages By This Member #27654 开云体育 Three suggestions For decal paper, Tango Papa is excellent.? Richard Brennan of TT West does custom decals and is excellent and reasonable. ? I use PowerPoint to generate decal and sign art. PowerPoint is 300 dpi so a 44x34 slide prints at 1200 dpi. I will do a clinic at the NMRA conv on using PowerPoint for decals and to do great signs a 4x6 matte prints.?
