Hey also have you found anyone that sells small decals for rolling stock? I'm building some rolling stock and want to decal them up with Boat logos and fishing lure logos. Since my layout is outside at the beach.

That's the first time I was on the site. As far as the decals go print your own you can by blank decal paper and print them on your ink-jet print or laser printer remember you can't print white. I do tons of custom paint on trains mainly the New Haven Railroad I do on the average of 125 pieces a year what started as doing a few pieces for myself turned out to be a nice bussiness it paid for a lot of trains and all of my tools and air-brushes.......Here's a few examples of some of my work. 1st picture I do scale 2 rail traction *Connecticut Company trolley *Painted and lettered for Hartford Ct 2nd picture a old Atlas *40 ft box car *painted and weathered myself....Ted * *

Here's a project I doing for myself this is a Weaver Pullman-Bradley 10 window coach that I'm cuttting up and re-doing in to NH grill car. I cut the car a part on a band saw and re-con igured the windows and blocked off the doors {there was only thru car entrances} !st pic the starting point next the car cut up next the newly reconstructed windows it now has 11 windows and 7 on one side { 4 windows were blanked out *it's the grill area} next re did the interior it now has the correct table and seating and I built the grill area. I ned to paint and decal it and the last picture is a HO model.....Ted * *

that looks great Blu how many hours do you have in it?

[Blu_Lunch]

Theres probley 20 hours so far a lot of work sanding filling it will be one of a kind when it's done there is not any 11 windows versions ever made so it is impossible to do it right unless you cut it up like I did...Ted
