HO N&W Steam Decals

[NW Modeling List]

Along those lines.......could the Society do a correct or revised set in HO from Micro Scale or, even better, Shell Scale?

 Two questions then:
How do we show our interest for the Society to gauge demand?
Rather than the Society invest in the production, could you first engage with MicroScale to offer a further update of their decal?

The Society can do the N&W steam decals, the Microscale set is a bit undersized for the 10 inch letters. However, we have to order a fairly high number of sets to keep the pricing reasonable, and therefore demand must be there for the investment of time.

They can be done with correct builder’s plates and class plates (Class J plates were chromed, I believe the streamlined K2 plates were also chromed) and bronze for most of the others, the Y3s were cast iron I know for sure, class plates bronze.

We could also include the correct early small cab size lettering, and the aluminum color lettering for passenger power.

It all depends on demand.

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?
