Bill, I print decals and draw all my own vector artwork for them. If someone can supply or point me at suitable photos I will design the set based on the photos. The problem comes in with the small pr

Link and pin couplers no less. Neat photo. John Hagen

Ray, It would appear that Tim has asked for others to help in this not-so-easy undertaking. You have supplied additional data which, I am sure, Tim will incorporate into the database. While there may

Jace, If you can't find "Road of Anthracite" lettering, I can whip up a decal set. Almost all the cars lettering is readable on the photo linked to the Fallen Flags site. All i will need besides some

I haven't a clue about that particular car but, as one who does decals, I can suggest that both types of wheels were in use during the era when these cars and/or lettering scheme were in use. Hence so

Andy, You think the "dumbing-down of our standards has led to reversing the progress we have made through the last 20 years" because of decaled rivets? Have you looked at all the "wonderful" articulat

I believe he means a person who does decal printing as opposed to a machine that prints decals. Check Great Decals, they have a number of custom printers listed. http://www.greatdecals.com/Decals.html

BTW, Kadee also does "Printed" custom runs as opposed to their "Thermal printed (Alps)" custom decals. Check their website. http://www.kadee.com/htmbord/custom.htm Jerry Glow is doing many great sets

Can't put a number on it but the inks will be produced through May of 2015. Then we will be depending on dealers stock. There are several people working on getting another manufacturer to make replace

Yep. I just wish such printers (the machines) weren't so expensive. The advantage of the Alps were they were afforable for the average guy. I dunno, I have made some pretty opaque decals for many a pe

Well, it shouldn't be too difficult to figure out how much the livestock weighs. Let's see now .... hmmm. a three lb package of hamburger weighs three lbs so a one lb canned ham would weigh ... Oh nev

Yeah, but assuming HO scale, the #4266 are only available in N scale (full number 60-4266). I can check my Champ diagram books for any possible sets. If they are there I can use them for a pattern to

Yep, Rob, you are absolutely correct. Somehow I missed the "HO" listed off to the right. John Hagen

You better get the book signed before the decession of the author. Unless you are willing to do some mid-night digging and even then...... It is true that a signed train book won't be sold at a Christ

I use distilled water and have no problems with any crud needing clean-up. I have tried both detergent and Photo-Flo with no appreciable difference from straight water. And yes. I only will try to pri

I purchased my bottle of Photo Flo at least twenty years ago (probably more and quite possbilly many more) for use in the then new water based paints. I was conserned about the cost until I went to a

I see no reason to remove detail that is already there. If some prefer to add more weight it is simple enough to cut out the cross beams. If the model had been originally made without the parts in que

No. It scales out to a bit over 66 1/2" long. John Hagen

There must be as so far I haven't noticed any normal people in this group. LOL. John Hagen

Probably not much. If Evergreen was listing each individually both they and their dealers had to have two stocking points for the same product. If, on the other hand, they only listed HO 1 X 4's, many
