If you read the title you may realize not everyone will enjoyed y this but I am one great step,closer in model railroading.

HO brass CANADIAN NATIONAL STEAM LOCOMOTIVE CAB NUMBERS UPDATE

Wed, 2015-10-28 23:10 — Deemiorgos

The numbers on the NW2 goes on the front below the grill. I was wondering if I could use the existing decals on the steam locos and just apply the brass numbers over them. I have no dea if this is possible; gluing to a decal.
