Can anyone give me contact info on a source for custom-made rubber stamps?
I am in the process of collecting the materials I need to custom paint several RichArt tinplate O gauge 710 series passenger car kits. I currently own several unassembled kits including: baggage/RPO, combine/club, coach, diner/parlor/pullman, and observation kits, with mutiples of some. I want to paint these to match the paint scheme Dick Mayer used on the RichArt O gauge tinplate BiPolar Cascade engine, which he custom painted for me in Milwaukee's 1957 version of the Union Pacific's livery. See attached photo below of Dick sitting in his workshop next to his finished O gauge tinplate masterpiece (minus its pantographs).
I now am looking for a source to make me several custom rubber stamps. I would like to stamp each 710 series car in the letterboard area with a red "THE MILWAUKEE ROAD". In addition, along both sides of each car I would also like to stamp each car as appropriate with: "REA", "BAGGAGE", "US MAIL", "CLUB", "COACH", "COACH 2", "CHAIR", "PARLOR", "DINER", "PULLMAN 1", "PULLMAN 2", or "OBSERVATION", and with individual numbers 700 thru 712. Conceptually, I would like the design of the stamps to copy the design used on classic 710 series cars.
Anyone have a source for making "custom" rubber stamps for use on my 710 series car kits?
Bob
