HO N&W Steam Decals

[NW Modeling List]

Two questions then:
How do we show our interest for the Society to gauge demand?
Rather than the Society invest in the production, could you first
engage with MicroScale to offer a further update of their decal?

 The Society can do the N&W steam decals, the Microscale set is a bit
undersized for the 10 inch letters. However, we have to order a fairly
high number of sets to keep the pricing reasonable, and therefore
demand must be there for the investment of time.

 They can be done with correct builder’s plates and class plates
(Class J plates were chromed, I believe the streamlined K2 plates were
also chromed) and bronze for most of the others, the Y3s were cast
iron I know for sure, class plates bronze.

 We could also include the correct early small cab size lettering, and
the aluminum color lettering for passenger power.

 It all depends on demand.

nothing really on point; Tichy offers the stripe set for the J, and
has a generic set of builders plates. Otherwise zilch. Perhaps the
NWHS Modeling committee could address this issue.

ordered Microscale's latest revision, and while it does finally put
the builders plates and class badges in more of a bronze or brass
color instead of dulux gold like the lettering, it still has a poor
selection of classes repesented on the plates and badges. There are no
A's, and no Y's other than Y6b. Their O scale revision includes these
additional classes, so it is frustrating that the HO version still
does not. I've looked around but can't find any currently in
production other than Microscale. I know the Champ sets don't have the
plates and badges I am looking for. Are there any options besides
finding an appropriately sized "A" in another set and combining it
with the Microscale?
