Decals

Suitable decals always seems to be a problem for modellers in Narrow Gauge.
We've tried to do something about it, thought we had found the answer with a range from Canada and then just as we went for our second order they announced they were giving up and closing down. We bought a lot of the narrow gauge ones they had left.

The ones listed below are 0 scale from CDS Lettering Ltd

Ordering

READ THE ORDERING INSTRUCTIONS

Rather than provide "buy now" buttons for each item for the transfers we have a single button for all of them. Here's how to do it: -

  • Note the #numbers of the sheets you want.
  • Count the total number of sheets you want.
  • Click the "BUY NOW" button below. This will show an order form stating Qty 1, CDS TRANSFERS-specify item no.
  • Change the Quantity to the number of sheets you counted and click the `recalculate' button.
  • In the special instructions box type the sheet numbers and quantity in the form #345 (2)
  • Complete the Checkout process

See the example to the right. All the images expand if you click on them.

  Please make sure you've read the ordering instructions
Please don't expect us to have these with us at shows we attend, they're just too fiddly to take along

Remember these are the last produced by CDS. When they're gone they're gone
