Hi GUYZ,
Have anyone out their ever repaint a locomotive and changed the decals? I have a D&H Camelback and want to change it to the READING RR. Any hints would be appriciated.

I checked online, and found one website that has Reading Railroad decals for "O" gauge at WWW.MICROSCALE.COM. This may be what you are looking for to convert your Camelback. As far as painting, if that is what you decide to do, I would strip the shell in "Castrol- Super Clean" at full strength for a few hours. It will not hurt the shell at all, and will remove any existing paint. Soak in Isopropyl Alcohol, no other types of alcohol, and rinse in warm water and let dry. Prime it, and paint the color you want.
Good luck,
Teledoc (Jerry)
TELEDOC,
Thank you for the site. Unfortunatly O scale was for diesels and not locos. Thanks for the advice on stripping the old paint.
Hey your close enough why don't you go down and check out what they have from what I have seen there the engines are basicly a greyish black with white decals heres there address
The Reading Railroad Heritage Museum is located at 500 South Third Street in Hamburg, PA, approximately 80 miles northwest of Philadelphia.
and heres there web page http://www.readingrailroad.org/index.shtml
now I have the wrong computor here and when I get my other back tomorrow what I had on it may be gone so I may need to start over on my favorites but there is a guy on ebay that offers different decals and I believe if I read his auction right he will do custom decals
you can search decals under O scale trains on ebay and maybe contact a couple of those sellers and see if they do custome decals and how much.
Life's hard, even harder if your stupid John Wayne

As mentioned in a reply by rtraincollector, you may want to try www.lbrenterprisesllc.com for custom decals. They offer different roadnames and cab numbers, and state that they will or can custom make a decal. That may be another option to try.
Laz sent you a couple of emails for the rest the short and skinny of it there is a seller on ebay that will do custom lettering/numbers a water slide type of decal. his ebay name is c13092 not sure if that is a link or just the color it came. he states about 40% of his decals are from custom work
Thank YOU GUYZ,
I contacted DAVE there and he said if I get him the size of the lettering and give him a pic he would gladly do it. Thanks again gonna have to take some pics for him.
Here is his non-ebay website http://www.lbrenterprisesllc.com/contact.html
