N&W Hopper Decals

[NW Modeling List]

Guys,
 
I have tried unsuccessfully for the past two years to acquire Tom English's 
 work.
 
I am currently finishing up art on our newest Norfolk Southern hopper set  
for HP28R-HP30R including the Pier 6 hopper. This weekend I'm releasing 
another  set for Norfolk Southern's H65 and H69 hoppers. These are printed and I 
just  need to finish the instruction sheet.
 
When I finish these two projects in the next week or so I will start on the 
 N&W hopper cars.
 
Modelers that have used our decals know how much attention and detail we  
put into our artwork to make them absolutely accurate. We don't just use a 
font  and "get it close". All of our newer sets come with complete data and  
instructions.
 
Any good photos, class info, data and car number info would be appreciated. 
 We have some of what we need but every little bit helps.
 
Keep an eye on the list for updates.
 
Sincerely,
 
Richard D. Shell

Tom English was the provider of the decals in question and he passed a  way 
a couple of years ago. His wife had the art work but she passed away about  
2 weeks ago and I don't know what has happened to the art work. Alan Cox

Carl --

Ouch -- you may be right. I don't retain a  current copy of the Commissary, 
and was working from memory. If so, it's a  sad loss. 
 
If the situation is correct, a possible  option would be for N&WHS and a 
surviving family member to work with a  decal seller such as Bill Mosteller of 
Great Decals to reinstitute the sets.  Several of Bill's current sets have 
originated from designers no longer  intrested in being in the decal 
business.

Bob, 
I  was told that the NWHS has long been out of the hopper decals and didn’t 
 think they would be able to get more since the guy that made them had died 
a  few years ago. 
Was  I misinformed?
