Lionel Aquarium Car Picture Belts

Does anyone know if you can print your own custom pictured belts for the Lionel Aquarium Cars? I’d like to do something other than fish.

mermaids would really be cool

I have a few of those cars and the belts are in bad shape. I haven’t actually done it yet, but I think I will print or copy the desired images onto transparency film for inkjet printers, such as this-

Then I will cut to size and tape or cement the ends together. I am going to try film cement first, and keep tape as a backup plan.

Don’t know if it will work, but I will find out!

Are yours the cogged or smooth belts? It appears that using a 8.5" 11" sheet, you will need to make two joints. Let me know how things work out.

35mm Clear Film 12.00/100 ft.

That’s the right price, but, how would you print on it?

Design a carrier sheet for your printer.
