HO scale decals (NW Modeling List)

[NW Modeling List]

I just noticed the comment about the NRHS and other excursion cars. I’d like to see those as well. I would like to model some of the NRHS cars used in the 1980s and 90s steam excursions when 611 and 1218 were both running. It would be great to have decals for those cars rather than piecing together the alphabet to achieve something close.

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.
