Sometime in the past few weeks I read a thread about having your own decals custom made. I cannot find this thread after a search. Does anyone remember it?

I do remember reading about decals earlier as I initiated a question about decals. One response which I can't remember from whom , but he suggested a item which he purchased at a local hobby store that operated sort of like a ringer washer. You simply loaded a picture of what you wanted ( many sizes ) and then cranked the machine and out came your signage/decal with an adhesive backing applied. The item I bought was from Hobby Lobby called Creative Station which included 25ft of adhesive which will go a long long way. The lady there demonstrated for us and it looks like what I was looking for. Have not used it yet but as soon as holiday fuss passes I will be working on some signs after locating the exact older pics I wanted. Another member of the forum had an idea that also is promising and less expensive and that was taking a mixture of 50/50 water and glue; apply building areas and press on your paper image and squeeze out the bubbles and then put additonal mixture over top pic. Some easy enough. GoodLuck! Hope it helps. Dan
I just have Jim Wilhite make them for me. Cheaper and easier.

I don't remember the thread .... Are you looking for a place to do customs for you? ..... though you probably know of this place, anyway ... but, Rail Graphics ....
I used them years ago, and will be placing a new order soon.
You can always make your own like I do......a number of threads here on that subject....

Bob, could you email me Wilhite's contact information. My email address is in my profile. I have a very serious need for services like his to complete a passenger train and none of the usual sources have what I need.
