Decals for HL Hopper Models

[NW Modeling List]

Thanks Ken and Jim for the pointers. 

I’m modeling 1938-ish, Circleville, Ohio, so 17” are what I’m looking for.

Matt: Check out "K4Pacific" on ebay or go to K4SUPPLY.COM. They have a set of the 17" letters which will do 6 cars for about a buck each. It is set K4-NWH9-87-01. The numbers supplied are correct for H9's rather than HL's, but hey! It's still a nice decal. They also have a set for covered hoppers: (24" letters) K4-NWCH-87-01.

They are in the works, I’ve not heard back yet from the printer about when they are ready to ship, but will keep the list appraised. This is small image, basically to give you the idea of what is in the set.
