H!
I am in the UK and i am looking for decals or transfers for a 3 3/4 steamer,as it is a American style engine (RMI Sweet creek )i would like to use a American road name for the tender.
I like the sound of Nickle Plate Road so can any body point me at a supplier for these who would ship to the UK.

Re: Decals / Transfers
Also try this site. Another quite commonly used supplier of train lettering etc.
I believe at less cost and quite good. Might not be as 100 percent complete Tiny (rivet counter)details.
I use the products and am satisfied with what I get.
Thank you.

Keith...
Do you have a local sign shop that can cut adhesive-backed vinyl? If yes...and you have something they can scan (model or printed)...they can use their software to resize the artwork and give you the size you want. I did this using a G scale Nickel Plate 2 bay hopper...for a 1.5" scale 2 bay hopper...and it worked great.
Problem is, most railroad fonts are proprietary. Other than something like Times New Roman (a generic RR style font), you won't find much on computer word processing programs for railroad type and/or logos.
So, there are ways to find something to suit your application, size and color. Hope this helps. Carl B.
