Lois,
 
IIRC, Model Railroad Services was a line of decals owned by the late Tom English, who also owned Chesterfield Hobbies near Richmond, VA.  
 
Perhaps this is a project for the N&WHS modeling committee to explore; offering correct N&W decals would not only benefit our membership, but would also draw non-N&W modelers to our website to purchase decals....and probably books, etc.
 
The MRS decals were great, but are a result of technology and production methods that are probably over 20 years old or older.

Friends:
At present the Model Railroad Services decals for N&W steam era freight cars is still listed in the Commissary as "temporarily out of stock" though I have heard that they will be discontinued. If so, I will be left without a important source for detailing my freight car fleet, as I model the late steam era (mid-1950's) on the N&W. I have had at present to suspend work on two 55-ton hoppers (no end decals) and a H2a hopper (no decals at all). If these decals are to be discontinued, do any of you know a source for finding decals for N&W freight cars in this period? Any assistance would be much appreciated.
