Hi Everyone,

As you may or may not know, I've decided to do a somewhat ambitious project, principally that of creating a freeland railway in an imaginary country.

One of the things I'm currently musing is whether to create a custom made paint scheme for this imaginary country's railway.

I was wondering if anyone had experience with this.... I'm particularly concerned about redoing the paint schemes and then being unable to redo the minute decals a lot of the high quality trains have...

Has anyone got any experience with making a custom made paint scheme and then reapplying new decals?

How does one go about it, do manufacturers make undecorated trains??

Ta for any words of wisdom anyone might have...

Hi Richard,

Thanks a lot for your comprehensive thoughts on this. I am definetely looking at the whole layout as being something to keep me occupied for many decades!

The point is well taken about taking everything in stride, and one step at a time.
