Accurail custom decorated cars

[NW Mailing List]

Ed,
Thanks for getting back to me.  The problem is, the manufacturer charges
for the decoration, so a VGN paint scheme would mean doing another custom
run.  What we are looking for to get the most bang for the society's buck
is one paint scheme for which we can sell a couple hundred kits.  Let me
know what you can think of anything that would help us get the word out to
more potential customers,or if there is a model out there that we could
sell a thousand of.
