Can I get replacement or alternative transfers for my model?
There are tens of thousands of decals available covering a multitude of different models from trains, planes and other transport to buildings and road signs, within these categories you can get decals covering different eras, scales and companies too. As good as this sounds, such a large choice can turn your search for the perfect decal into a quest for a needle in a haystack.
Knowing where to start is half the battle when searching for decals. Good model shops are likely to stock general transfers covering a range of subjects and topics, but the keyword is 'general'. For example, if you require some LMS decals to anchor your station to a specific date or location, your model shop should be able to provide you with a decal pack containing a fairly comprehensive selection to help you achieve this. However, if you are on the hunt for decals for a specific wagon or locomotive then you may have more success with model clubs or specialist decal companies.
If after a reasonable search you are still struggling to find the decals you require, you might want to consider making your own, there are many decal kits available containing lining, lettering and numbers enabling you to construct a bespoke design and you can even get special transfer paper that can be printed on with your home printer.
