Adding decals to Bachman 2 Truck Shay

[pmindigo]

Just completed a project to paint and apply graphics to my Bachman 2-Truck Shay. Sent sample pictures to Highball Graphics and they delivered decals that exceeded my expectations within a week.
I had to use AI to read up on applying graphics specifically on an uneven surface. The side of the tender has raised rivets and the decal needed to be applied over them. I used Mr.Mark Setter as the base to help set the decal on the model, and then applied multiple coats of Mr.Mark Softer to basically melt the decals over the rivets. I finished off with Mr.Super Clear UV Matte spray.

I have recently purchased an unlettered version of the same loco. Purchased decals have arrived from the US. Just got to get the nerve to apply them! Thanks for the info on what products you used.
