Custom Decal Question
« on: August 24, 2013, 02:00:37 PM »

I'm thinking I want to strip and paint a bunch of Atlas 90 ton hoppers, then decal them for Norfolk & Western. Is it a problem having a company like Rail Graphics to print the N&W decals for these cars, or is it some sort of copyright/trademark issue?

I know I could email Rail Graphics or other companies and ask, but I wouldn't get a reply until next week. I wanna know NOW if anyone has had a similar experience.

EDIT - I emailed Rail Graphics, so I'll eventually get an answer.  :trollface:


Hmm... I once had a near-
death experience when I
choked on a banana...

Two scientists create a teleportation ray, and they try it out on a cricket. They put the cricket on one of the two teleportation pads in the room, and they turn the ray on.
The cricket jumps across the room onto the other pad.

Most (if not all) custom decal manufacturers will not reproduce decals which already exist.

Does anyone know if N&W 90/100 ton hopper decal sets exist? That would save me a lot of trouble.


Hmm... Kiz'll find other
trouble to get into...

I think these were in at least three schemes - original, NW and Claytor.

I don't think there are decals for any of them, although there is a set from Shellscale that may do the "NW" cars.

I suggested/sent photos to Microscale on the Claytor scheme about 20 years ago and still nothing....
