Hello,
I would like to know if anyone knows of any sources for A.M.T. or Toronto decals in either HO or N scale. I am most likely going to have to end up having to custom print them, but if something exists, it can save me some time. Thank you in advance for any assistance provided.

I would like N scale AMT decals myself but haven't found any. Have you asked on the Canadian modelers yahoo list?

I am not familiar with them. The Toronto decals were of a higher priority, so I am just having them printed up. Thanks for the response.

Jim at Highball does excellent work, we used to use them a few years back. The downside was that his decals would rub off the sheets when handling them occasionally. We use Microscale exclusively now for all of our decals as the quality is top notch. I needed the Toronto logos urgently in N scale for a large project and was hoping to shave a few weeks off the turnaround time. Thanks to all for the suggestions, it is appreciated. We went with our tried and true method - Microscale.

I am hoping Athearn will do their F59phi and bombardier cars in N Scale, and that we can get some AMT decals in N.

We answered this in another thread; there's a supplier in the Montreal area, I will try and dig it up later.

You ask for "Toronto" decals. Are you looking for TTC decals for traction or "GO" Government of Ontario markings?

I was looking for the TTC logos for the Rocket. Thanks for the replies, I had to get rolling and needed several hundred sets, so I went with Microscale .
