white decals 1-1.5mm

Hi,

Does anyone know where I can get white decals, letters and number in 1-1.5mm?

I know Modelmaster did a sheet this size but it appears it is no longer made.

I've just completed a six wheel NBR floor cloth wagon and require suitable decals. I've tried making my own decals but they never turn out very good.

The wagon was made by chopping up 2 Peco 10ft steel chassis and resetting the wheels to cover a 16ft 10in wheelbase. The body was made from 20 thou plastic card and scored to represent the planks. The ends were peaked and a tarpaulin rail was added.

Nairns of Kirkcaldy had 5 of these wagons. Three were 4 plank high on wooden chassis and two were 3 plank high on steel chassis.

Hi Alex,
I'm sure you will find something suitable in the Fox Transfers range.

Interesting wagon. I think John could well be right about Fox Transfers.

Best wishes,

John H-T.
