Can you get decals for all gauges of model railway rolling stock?
Undoubtedly, 00 gauge is the most common gauge for modelling in the UK, so it stands to reason that 00 gauge transfers are the most plentiful and exhibit a large collection aimed at locomotive numbering as well as wagons and coaches, however, transfers and decals for other gauges are out there if you're prepared to search for them.
Old Time Workshop and ModelMaster are a good place to start your search. They have a wide range of decals covering wagons and coaches from many gauges including 00, O and 009 (HOe), but as the sheer amount of decals on the market today is simply staggering, when shopping for some have as much information about your model to hand as possible to make your search easier.
