Darjeeling coaches

[engerth399]

Hi All

I'm building a Darjeeling coach from a Worsley Works scratch-aid to go with my recently-completed loco.  The Worsley works site shows some very good completed models by Brian Love which have used some Hindi script in the lettering.  I don't know if he is on this forum but does anyone know of a suitably sized source of such lettering?

Hindi (and everything from ogham to klingon, or should that be Armenian to Zoroastrian  :laugh: ) computer fonts are available online. I'm sure companies that make bespoke decals will be able to produce something or you could or someone you know could do something with Crafty Computer Paper or similar.

Hi there,

OK - So this is an old post and a very late response....

I am hoping to get decals done to cover the majority of what is required for Darjeeling Loco and coaching stock.

My initial artwork is already with one maker and I am waiting his response.

The problem with doing this is that, as all DHR stock is hand lettered, the sizes are not consistent.

I'm hoping to have covered this by putting various sizes of the wording on the decal sheet.

More once I get something back!

I'm hoping it's not too long as I now have 4 locos and 6 coaches to decal up!

I decided not to do the freight stock as photos make it appear that every wagon had different sizes applied at varous times.

Thanks

Please let us know when you get a result, though I would have to find the stuff I built a couple of years ago.
