News: Decals

This is an established company based in the U.K. They produce 3D resin rivets on decals, somewhat similar to what Archer Decals used to offer. If you are looking for an alternative to Micro Mark, take a look at this company's product line. They don't offer them in S-scale specifically, but they do list the size of the rivets in terms of millimeters.

This company produces custom decals on very thin vinyl that has a built-in adhesive. No rubbing required; just apply a little water to position them, blot them dry with a paper towel, and then provide some heat (your finger or a couple of seconds with a hairdryer). Note that their web site states 1:87 scale, but if you click on individual decals, you'll see a drop-down selection list which usually includes 1:64 decals available. Their primary target audience is vehicle modelers, but they do offer custom decals.

John Hagen, owner of OBS-CALS decals, indicated that he has the PRR's ball herald artwork. John says that he uses the Alps printers, and he can print-to-order. He said that the cost per sheet is the same no matter how many are ordered. For a 5.5" X 8.5" (5" x 7" print area) it is $17.50 (for colored or white decals). If you only need black print, the cost is $6 per sheet. Apparently the color white is very expensive, relative to all other colors. Generally, there are no fees for artwork on any prototype set. If he has developed a set and you want modifications, there may be a small fee based on the amount of changes. Once payment is received (PayPal preferred but checks or USPS money orders are fine), he'll print and ship the order.
