very good math, in fact, you're getting into Trig and Calculus your observations are accurate in concluding that if you take a picture (2D) of a train (3D) then print an image of this (2D), then apply this decal (2D) to a model train (3D). Where did that (1D) go? Yes, you would have to modify this image in an imaging app to compensate for that however, in N scale, this may not be required  lmfao!!! how much wood could a wood chuck, chuck if a wood chuck could chuck wood... biggest question right now is paper. i have read varying techniques. some say clear paper, some say white. i may just order the paper, buy a color cartridge and go for it...as with most things in life, experience is the best teacher.. |

If you have the capability to print white, then you can base print white then over layer print in yellow, then you can use clear decal film paper. the reason for the latter would be if the graphic is complex and can't be hand cut around the details |

haha, cole you bring up a good point - i'm avoiding my ridges for that exact reason.
I was always awful at math too.
KO's right about the n scale thing too though.. doesn't have to be perfect!
I was planning on starting with clear paper.

Actually, clear might add to realism. Sometimes the fill isn't solid opaque is some areas or all over. It may add the the scale fade effect
