Hello All, Some of you know that in addition to Tyco, I've also been collecting British trains as well. I'm attempting to apply some decals (called transfers in Britain) which I've purchased from the UK. However, their decals are much different from ours, as they don't ride on a 'clear' plastic surface (that causes US decals to have the edges that need to be eliminated with solvent or clearcoat). It's better in the sense that the decal just looks like it's been printed on the model. However, there is some process other than just soaking the transfers in water to get them to work (they just disintegrated on me). If anyone here has ever had experience with these, please let me know. Thanks
