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.

Thanks Bob for the input! Can you give me more info, or contact information for LaBelle? I'm tempted to get decal paper and give it a try. Again my concern with "do-it-yourself decals" rest with the ability to get a good snug fit.

cheers, Dave
