I will repeat Bob Nicholson's endorsement of RailGraphics of Chicago
Illinois for obtaining decals. The Cuyahoga Valley S Gaugers placed an order in
2011 with a certain decal, and everything else evidentally, company from the
south for 200 sets of Great Lakes Brewing Company decals for our 2013
Spree cars. We supplied the graphics, camera ready, the works. You would think
an order that size would get their attention. They took the order and our
deposit and we never heard from them again for nearly a full year in spite
of our repeated inquiries.
Finally we pulled the order and re-ordered them from Railgraphics,
recommended by several persons at the Chattanooga National Convention last
summer. Within three weeks we had all the decals. They are solid strong and
easy to use. I recommend Railgraphics highly. Lee McCarty

no results. At this time my check remains un-cashed, which is a good thing
I guess. On the other hand, I wanted decals for a Downs tank car and two
CD hoppers that are aging in their boxes while I age waiting for them.

are some transition era decals to work with and heralds, if you are
modeling later than 1965-68 this is a good place to start. Start small, the
prices
aren't that bad for a try out compared to customs. Chris Rooney
