Bill Mosteller who does steam and diesel HO decals tells me that he would need to sell at least 15 sets of "O" gauge decales to make it worth his while. Is there anyone out there in P&WV land that models "O", that would be interested?

Well Mack, I hope you find enough O-scale model folks to make a run of these decals.

Hope who ever does this project uses Jayrods P&WV Steam era Artwork.
These are the most complete and correct color and fonts we have seen.
After looking at Athearns new H.O.52' gondolas fans & modelers need a break from these toy makers.
Me, I'll hold out my $$ for a set of P&WV F units with big yellow stripes and matching stream-line coaches.
I'm sure MTH O scale will be putting these out as well. I'm not a scale model rivit-counter by any stretch.
But with all the P&WV information supplied by the Hi-Line and other related sites you just wonder,
what type and kind of research these toy manufactures do before they begin production.
Oh well, I guess it sells.

I finally got some Woodland Scienic dry transfers for the P&WV part. I made my own hearld also. Not the best looking, but pretty good. HO guys have all the fun. But MTH puts out a lot of good stuff. PWVJer do you have the MTH FM's? If so, it's easy to cut off that little hood behind the cab.

No Mack, I don't do anything in O scale.
We do have some H.O. stuff, most of it sent to us by manufactures.
Charlie F. is the major H.O. guy.
I do put up a large G-Scale (LGB) display for Xmas, the 8 grandchildren really love it.
This year it has grown in size to 6'X12'.
Lots of scale structures, trees and Woodland* people scenes. All this stuff has been detailed and custom weathered.
This exhibit magically appears on Dec. 20th and gone again by Jan 4th.
