HO N&W Steam Decals

[NW Modeling List]

Hi guys just wondering about this. The BLI J ever since the Paragon 2 J the letter on the cylinder has been black it’s there but it’s hard to see can that be painted or do you have to get a new decal? Just wondering for when the new run of Paragon 3 J# come out next year.

Sincerely,
Jeff Mueller

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?
