HO N&W Steam Decals

[NW Modeling List]

Hey Marty

I just got an email from Richard Shell, and we will work to produce a product jointly. And it will be correct all the way around.

But, I don’t think I’e expect it before mid 2021, it is a lot of work.

Best
Ken

I 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?
