Decals Sets

[nw-modeling-list at nwhs.org]

ALL
Bill M. also took the risk of producing some excellent VGN boxcar and two bay
hopper decals in Ga 1 for us 1:32 live steam folks.  They make O scale decal
sets look inexpensive.  Maybe he will do some N&W decals too, especially if we
[1:32] ever get a "real" N&W hopper.  
>From personal experience; if you want the decals made by a professional [like
Bill] help him get the proper information and most important... put your money
where your mouth is and agree to purchase a bunch of sets up front so he is
not
assuming 100% of the financial risk.  It helps get these projects done.  You
can be part of the problem or part of the solution.  As I said while in
uniform... "lead, follow, or get out of the way."
