I like Champ decals best. They are thicker then Microscale, but I don’t have a problem with them…

The T-1 decals cost a good deal more, because there are so many of them needed of the complete locomotive.

are they water side or vinyl stick on’s??

[modelmaker51]

Champs are waterslide. You could also call Bowser, I have often made small orders by phone and only been charged actual postage.

…why pay 9.00 for shipping,when it only cost 1.00-1.50 to ship them in a envelope…??

That is a very good question that you can ask Bowser yourself. If you feel that the shipping for a decal sheet is too much, give them a call, tell them that you are only interested in buying a decal set and see if they can send out the decals for the price of a stamp. If you don’t ask, you’ll pay a lot, the most they can tell you is “no” but you may get lucky and get the decals sent for a small price.

…I’m going to check with champ decals… for 15.00 it better be a complete set,everything that’s on the T-1…like BLI

If you can’t find a complete, satisfactory set of decals, then you might want to consider making your own. Only you know for sure what it is you want.

As far as your spelling goes, well IMO, your printed words are an extension of yourself…what message are you sending us?

I got some guys who’s wants me to paint there T-1’s!!

Ah, that should be “I’ve got some guys who want me to paint their T-1s.” English lesson time. who’s is possessive; did you mean ‘whose’? If you use guys, plural, then it should be want, not wants. Their, not there, like in a place. And T-1’s is possessive; T-1s is plural. Let me guess - you spell also as “all so” and Thanksgiving as Thank’s Giving. Just to too two more

Your the one who criticize/started about my spelling…

Go back and re-read the thread. I wasn’t the first to criticize your spelling. I think I was the thrid.

Oh silver pilot ,get any first place trophy’s with your painted models?..

Yes, I do. I won my NMRA division’s monthly model contest four months in a row. It also happened to be the first four times I ever entered the monthly contest. They do eight monthly contests, with a 1st half and a 2nd half award. The first time anyone has ever won (1st place) in all four months in one half. There is a lot of difference between painting a steam locomotive black and painting multi-color paint jobs.

Saw the other thread. Like I said, painting a loco black is not that difficult, but concittering (ed.) it should be Brunswick green? Can’t wait to see it with vinyl decals. [:-^] Let us know when you’re able to get it to actually pull some cars and not uncouple. Horn-hook couplers?? On a T-1?? Really??

[joseywales]

silver pilot I’ve won first place three years in a row with my R/C boats …going to take another next year too…As far as me painting my T-1 black,well the T-1 and most of PRR trains where black in the first place until they oxidized… PRR used black paint then put copper powered in there black,then after awhile the paint starts to turn green…You know when copper get exposed to the elements it start to turn green…as you said it easy to paint a train black?? wrong! Black will show any imperfections!!..Black will show sins/flaws…!..Any auto-body man know that black will show flaws/sin/waves/dents,dings, if the work isn’t done properly…I still got to do some paint details on it too …like painting the center trucks bearing caps silver…paint the water valves nobs red…then put glass in the cab of boiler then put the decals on then give it a high gloss of clear.then the body is done…Then I’m re motoring it and putting sound&smoke in it too… So keep on being the hater silver pilot…

Boys, boys. As was mentioned earlier, none of us is perfect.

…English lesson time. who’s is possessive; did you mean ‘whose’?

Actually “who’s” is a contraction of “who is” - the possessive form is, as noted “whose”.

Now can we get back to trains.

Josey, order the darn decals and finish the loco - I wanna see some pictures. [swg] [(-D] [(-D] [(-D]

good grief, Joe is looking for decals and we are picking on spelling (typos). Go with either Microscale if they have the right set, or pay the piper and get the set from Bowser. Champ and Herald King both use a pretty thick decal film that is hard to hide. I prefer Microscale when they have what I want. Cheers MIke

I think the point that some of us were trying to make is that, while we all have typos, check your posts before clicking the “Post” button for typos, spelling problems and basic grammar. Since this is written form of communication these things can be critical to getting your question understood and answered. There is a difference between 'there" “their” and “they’re.” Misuse of especially the last two can lead to different interpretationos (interpretations) of a persons (person’s) post and different answers. Another example is someone else’s post about “soddering.” When I first saw the subject line I thought “what the heck is soddering?” Again, that’s not a typo, that’s a misspelling of the primary subject. How about doing a little research first?

The other points being made is that instead of this forum being the first place to come and ask such an elementary question, spend (invest) a little time searching the internet for what you’re (not your) looking for. You’d be surprised what you might find. You then would be able tp pose the question along the lines of “I’ve checked XYZ’s website and they don’t make it, does any know of a mfg’er that does make ABC decals?”

The last point is if you want something specific like accurate decals and someone replies with a source or solution, don’t go complaining about the cost. If you want it done right, then, as said, pay the piper or be happy with a 2nd rate job.

Well Josey, which is which? Factory paint or custom paint?

Josey:

I like what I have seen of your work. I’m looking forward to seeing the finished, decaled model. I’ll also be interested in your re-motoring work.
