I've had a couple of goes with letraset and hand paintng, but both looked crap. Is there a set of decals out there I could use...?

Kreye in Harsum/Germany makes custom decals at a fair price, plus he has some decal sheets readily available.

Due to German law, they come without swastikas.

Do you have a web site or e-mail for them..?

Sure: http://www.modell-kreye.de/katalog/index.htm will show you the standard items, www.modell-kreye.de will get you to the main page.

How do I pay for the items?
I am very interested in some Dampflok numbers.

Errr... I always paid by bank transfer, or asked a friend who lives near Harsum (which is near Hannover, where I live - hint, hint, wink, wink

) to pick them up for me.

I will order some DRG HO decals for my Gützold class 18 in mid-January - I could get your decals as well and mail them to you? You could Paypal me the money, or send cash.

Thanks...

Would it be set '4070 - DRG 01-39' I'd want...?

 

[adecoaches26point4]

Thats a very generous offer, thank you.
I will browse what I need and PM You.

Many thanks,

David

No, I think you´d need to have some stencilled numbers custom made - the 4070s are the brass or aluninum plates that were attached to the engines. You´d want those that were painted on the engines using stencils.

David, no problem - if you (or Al) would want something custom made, I´d offer to communicate that to Mr Kreye.

Al, if you find anything or would want that custom order, I´d extend the offer I made to David to you, too. That´d save you the bank transfer to Germany, which seems to be rather costly. If you need help, I could try and find some 50ÜK numbers you could use in my literature.

Links for German railways

For HO try Gassner, about half way down the above page, he offers DB, DR and DRG.

For those who feel that they have to model WW2, various other manufacturers offer hakenkreuz decals and even the cast eagle from the front of locos.

I have a set that was sent to me for review and I have no intention of using them- going spare?

 

[Al]

I could be interested. How big are they..?

 

[72C]

Not N, they are HO.
