Re: Making decals
Calder Northern now has samples of their decals, while an individual member has a set of H0 white decals for the Colorado Midland's freight stock.

Re: SCALETRAINS Tunnel Motor
Koos,
It's a really nice model out-of-the-box, and now that the UDE light is on <F6> rather than <F14>, it's even better. Can we have an SD45T-2 now?

Re: Making decals
If anyone wants a sample of the decals - either a set of Data elements or 4 sets of car numbers - please send me an SAE, and advise on which set you want. My contact details are in the Directory.

Re: Making decals
I now have produced sample sheets of both Railroad Roman and Railroad Gothic data elements for box-cars available on legal (8.5" by 11") decal paper, comprising numbers from 1 to 12 for the month/inch and 00 through 99 for the year/foot plus "CAPY", "LD LMT", "LT WT", "EX W", "W", "IL", "IW", "IH" "...

Re: Making decals
Can you just swap between black and white cartridges? I suppose colour with white will depend on how good the printer repeats the paper position. Keep us up to date, sounds like it might be worth me buying a laser printer. There are building signs as well as railroad stuff I can see would be easier...

Re: Making decals
I now have the Ghost White toner cartridge installed and it produces white decals, just like it says it will. I have Excel spreadsheets with Railroad Roman and Railroad Gothic numbers and the Data items; these will allow mixing and matching of car details and reporting numbers. The decal sheets I'm ...

SCALETRAINS Tunnel Motor
I splashed out much of my back pay on on of these, courtesy of the nice, friendly people at Mech-Models. (Disclaimer, my relationship is that of a customer, nothing more.) So far I have merely set the address to the unit's running number and plan to run it a Crewe later on today; with luck I'll be a...

Re: Making decals
I can't locate a suitable driver for the ALPS MD4000, although it is theoretically possible to run old versions of Windows under Windows 10 Professional, but have come across an alternative solution. Ghost White Toner does white cartridges for various laser printers that replaces the black cartridge...

Re: Tru Color Paints
Good to read that someone is prepared to take a flier. Any idea on price/availability?

Re: PanPastel
At last year's Convention there was a clinic on weathering with these. I went to my local art suplies shop a couple of days later and came back with some Rowney pastel sticks at £2 each, the shop owner opining that Pan Pastels were difficult to locate and the Rowney ones were probably more cost-effe...

Re: Dual-Gauge operations
Thank you gents. I think I'll abandon plans for a dual-gauge turntable and run the narrower-gauge units backwards instead...

Dual-Gauge operations
I'm not sure if this question properly belongs here or not; if it's in the wrong location then one of the moderators will move it to a more appropriate location. Where a dual-gauge turntable is fitted on a conventional 3-rail system, how do traincrews turn the narrower-gauge loco? Would I be correct...

DJH USRA Light Mikado - which Romford wheels fit?
Just like the title says, I'm looking for advice on the correct Romford/Markits wheels for the above kit. It presently has Alan Gibson(?) wheels and axles but one wheel has thrown a tyre and the fit on the axle makes getting the correct lead difficult. i've measured the diameter at 18.375mm, and it ...

Re: Making decals
I've just cobbled up some decals for the Maine Coastal Railroad (please don't ask) using the GIMP software package and a downloaded Railroad Roman font. If I can find a Windows 7 driver for my MD4000 I'm going to dig it out and use it. If successful I'm going to print out some white letters. If all ...
