Dapol O Gauge Y1 / Y3 "Sentinel" Shunters announced!

[DJ Dangerous]

Dapol are running their O GAUGE SENTINEL SHUNTERS again.

No Irish variant this time, just EIGHT UK VARIANTS, but maybe somebody knows of appropriate Irish decals for a debadged UK variant?

As usual, slightly cheaper from Rails than directly from Dapol.

b)      There are folk out their who do very good "Transfers to order".

What's the best way of doing so?

I remember something about clear transfer paper and laser printers but don't remember the specifics.

Who?

Definitely not SSM nor Railtec, who are the only two I know of.

I'm waiting about a year now on custom transfers from Railtec, so they obviously either don't do them any more, or have a backlog longer than that.

If youre to do so at home, you need a printer that will print white (rather than toner) they're out there for a price, but theyre not especially common

The good folks at Railway Mania do custom transfers to order

Thanks for that. I knew it was something slightly uncommon!
