Mixed results. I always use Solvaset or similar, but you need care to avoid lifting the paint. Most of my decals go over riveted tender sides, and my rivets are oversize (artistic license). I usually get good snuggle down with custom decals.
LaBelle still exists, Alps printer and all. My artwork can be used free of charge to generate decals for others, and should slightly reduce the cost. LaBelle has some very useful SP steam decals, done for Stevenson Preservation.
