Another Decal Source Gone.

We're entering more completely into the world of custom decals.

Make a set for yourself, try to peddle the other 24, or more, sets.

Rex, you mean "TRY" to make a set for yourself.  Seems like every set of decals I needed had some white in them that just can't be done without something like an ALPS printer.  There's new printers out that print white, but I don't have $6k for one of them.

Refurbished alps printers are available

Bob,

I was referring to having a specific decal set made by one of the shops that do such things. They typically have a minimum order (rightly so), but you end up with far more sets than you'll ever use.

Oh, you're right about that.

The ACL/SAL Historical Society has had decals made in the past, but the company that made them doesn't want to do O scale.  Maybe it's time to revisit them

I would think all that would be needed to do is to increase the size of them and print away

If they know anything about O scale guys it's this...we'll pay big bucks for something that shouldn't be so expensive in the first place, just to get it.

A source that has not been widely mentioned here is: Modern Rails. The owner is Ricky Rupp and he is very accommodating; he has done a bunch of New Haven decals for my custom built Osgood-Bradley coaches, as well as some very specific decals for a PRR Senator consist i had put together. Any camera ready artwork you can give him or specific type font and size will help lower the price. His contact info is listed below:
