Whew! I thought I was asking a relatively simple question. Let me rephrase it
thus: do we have the lettering diagrams and stenciling arrangements for the
various classes of locomotives and tenders. A quick search of the resource
guide turns up a lettering diagram for Class W's but by the date I'm guessing
it's not what I'm looking for.
I know there have been several decal sets for N&W steam and everybody always
complains about something. The ShellScale decals for J's are among the best
I've seen. I think that is in part because they aren't trying to be everything
to everybody. The MicroScale set is probably perfect for one class of tender,
but I can't think of which one it is off the top of my head. A new and I think
more useful decal set would have the lettering spaced to fit different
size/classes of tenders. I'm guessing that one decal sheet would hold a pair or
two of all of the lettering size/spacing variations making it a very marketable
item.
Unfortunately I don't think we have drawings of what we want. Hopefully someone
from the Archive can prove me wrong and make this project easier.
Okay next round of comments?
