HO scale decals (NW Modeling List)

[NW Modeling List]

Actually this set has been slowly brewing for quite some time. Years ago I purchased the art that Roanoke Rails used to produce their J set. Ken and I have been gathering information for years.

I am paying close attention to the comments to see what is needed in addition to the obvious lettering. Again, Ken and I have worked on many prototype lettering projects including cabooses, freight cars, passenger cars, and locomotives, both diesel and steam. The Class J number 611 is probably our most famous project. 

Small items like class plates don't take much space so there should be plenty of those.


As previously stated, The Spirit of Roanoke lettering will not be included in this set. The era of this set will be up to 1959.

The set will be offered in HO, N, and O Scale.

And there are those worms I was worrying about.  LOL.  You will notice I did not mention the current excursion lettering in my original post, so you can guess how I feel about it.  Even the items I mentioned from the 90's are very limiting, the Forgive Them Lord sticker only being on her for a few hours.
Seriously though, I'm mostly just trying to encourage conversation and feedback for what people are interested in for the set.  Unless I misunderstood, this is not a set that is already in development but is essentially starting new right now, and both representatives from Shellscale and NWHS who are working on the decal are partaking in this conversation.  This seems an excellent opportunity for anyone with interest in this set to speak up about something they would like to see, even if it doesn't make it onto the final decal set.  So if there is some data or lettering size that hasn't been done right or available at all in the past, now is the time to comment.  
Regardless, sounds like it is going to be a great and much welcomed set.  
Now if only we could get an accurate set for NRHS and other excursion cars... ;)

Jim:

Richard Shell and I both despise the “phrase” under the cab for its historical inaccuracy, and we both agree it will not be part of any set we do.
