[NW Modeling List]

Not to change the subject.............but...............I wish the Society would provide the J/K-2 decal set from many years ago.

Guys, 

I have tried unsuccessfully for the past two years to acquire Tom English's 
work. 

I am currently finishing up art on our newest Norfolk Southern hopper set 
for HP28R-HP30R including the Pier 6 hopper. This weekend I'm releasing another 
set for Norfolk Southern's H65 and H69 hoppers. These are printed and I just 
need to finish the instruction sheet. 

When I finish these two projects in the next week or so I will start on the 
N&W hopper cars. 

Modelers that have used our decals know how much attention and detail we 
put into our artwork to make them absolutely accurate. We don't just use a font 
and "get it close". All of our newer sets come with complete data and 
instructions. 

Any good photos, class info, data and car number info would be appreciated. 
We have some of what we need but every little bit helps. 

Keep an eye on the list for updates. 

Sincerely, 

Richard D. Shell

Tom English was the provider of the decals in question and he passed a  way a couple of years ago. His wife had the art work but she passed away about  2 weeks ago and I don't know what has happened to the art work. Alan Cox

Several of Bill's current sets have originated from designers no longer  intrested in being in the decal business.
