And I believe they have their own site. They have softwear for all kinds of decals, signs, etc. Most can be edited to your desire.

[The colour yellow does not seem to work well) Needed to buy a can of “Crystal Clear” from an art shop (about A$12)to prevent the ink from running when the cutout decal is immersed in water prior to applying to the train. Later will spray with a cheap hairspray so nthat will not rub off easily.

As far as I know, there is no PC program specifically designed for making decals in any scale.

However, all you really need is a standard word processing program which will provide many types of fonts (letter styles) and decal paper which goes into your PC printer. If you have a scanner, you can scan or copy photos of signs you like, save them as the size you’d like them to print out and then print in black or in color.

You can buy decal paper online at Micro-Mark for about $7.00 for five sheets. You’ll have to purchase specific types of paper depending on your printer type. MM’s web address is:

There are other places that you can purchase decal paper online that may be less expensive. Do a Google search to find them.

Hope this helps,

Geof from the US

I have madethe decals by copying images from the internet and then resizing in Adobe Photoshop. I am sure that Adobe Elements would also work. I designed my own decals using Microsoft paint and then copied into Photoshop.
