"Our New Shop" - Russ Bellinis - 02-13-2009
I just checked out "Our New Shop" posted by N-gauger. When I checked out the store site, I noticed that they don't list decals, but they do post cards. It would seem to me that they could use the same technology to print decals on decal paper. I'm wondering if members would like to be able to purchase decals of the Big Blue logo to make custom decorated Gauge freight cars, bill boards advertising Gauge products on their model railroads, or even a Gauge industry? I'm thinking a sheet with logo's sized to fit large scale, O-scale, ho-scale, and n-scale on the same sheet would provide enough decals for any body in any scale to make whatever they wanted to model in their scale. An O-scale decal might be big for an n-scale car, but could be just right for a large sign on the side of a factory.

Russ, you're a step ahead of us. Mikey and I have been discussing creating decals. Some just for putting on windows and stuff, others to be used for placing on rolling stock for your "Big Blue Railway"... Give us a bit more time, believe me, I'll be the first in line.

Actually the site lists them as "Stickers" there are a few there, but these are "Indoor" stickers.
We're working on Weatherproof Decals 4" wide and possibly die cut, meaning the outline will follow the outline of the engines sticking out of the oval....
if anyone else is interested, now is the time to comment

How about a window sticker for a car/truck window?

e-paw Wrote:How about a window sticker for a car/truck window?Yes, that's what the decals are.. weatherproof and UV resistant "Window" stickers for cars
That's what we're working on getting now.. They may cost $2.00 - $2.50 each, still waiting for the final quote and minimum order quantity.....

Yesss! I love the idea of having decals available in various sizes!! When you bring out the decals for auto-truck windows, count me in! Would you consider a larger type sign, to go on the outside of my train room??? (hint, hint.)

We're still trying to figure out all the small stuff, but we wil only be offering one size...

I am a little confused here. I like the idea of a decal for Car or truck window. But how about decals for modeling as Russ suggested?

Lester Perry Wrote:I am a little confused here. I like the idea of a decal for Car or truck window. But how about decals for modeling as Russ suggested?That's also on the table for discussion. First comes the large vinyl decals that Mikey is talking about, then a sheet of water decals for rolling stock that I'm talking about. We just changed the logo a few days ago and haven't had time to even decide how we want to go about doing this.
