Decaling is easy!

Hi all!

I've been putting off decorating this formerly undecorated GP9 because I had no experience with decals. I found a set of PC locomotive decals at my LHS and decided to give it a try. Piece of cake! The instructions told me that some geeps wore the red P logo so I went with that so I wouldn't waste the all white ones I want for other projects later. Here's how it came out.

Ralph, if decalling were hard, I couldn't do it.
Just watch out for sets past their sell-by date.
and also for Walthers' PC steam loco set.

That looks great! If you would like some unsolicited advice that could make it even easier, try using Microscale products. I have found that by using Microscale clear gloss before decaling is the way to go regaurdless of what kind of paint you use. Then if you use Micro-set and Micro-sol (Microscale products) in the decaling process, they actually react with the clear gloss almost rendering the film invisible even before the final clear coat is applied.

Thanks for the comments everybody! Blake, I appreciate the advice. I'll give it a try.
