HO scale decals (NW Modeling List)

Anything to help sell a decal sheet helps us all. As a Shenandoah Valley modeler I would like some for K2s...which other folks where those ran would like. Even more so if a 3D maker would do the shells, nicer than short-coupling a J shell.

Not to open up a can of worms, because I know some people are sensitive about this, but any possibility of throwing in a couple of excursion era graphics for 611 on the decal sheet?  For example, decals for the Robert Claytor plaque and the "I am the thoroughbred of steam..." sticker?
I'd buy the set either way, but if we are going for the ultimate N&W steam decal set, why not include as much as possible?

Subject: Re: HO scale decals (NW Modeling List)

Richard and I have already been discussing this and it will be correct. Believe me.

Besides builders and class plates, I am thinking headlight number boards, number plates, all sizes and designs of steam, cabside lettering, appropriate tender tank lettering, etc. etc.
