New Microscale Decals

I just got an email from Microscale saying their latest decals are out. I'm mostly interested in their Gulf, Mobile & Ohio 40' & 50' box car decal set, #60-1506. It does 5 cars, so the set is a bargain!


Hmm... Kiz keeps buying
me "bargain" bananas.
They're terrible...


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.
"It works! It works!"

A few cars I did last week using the GM&O set. The pic which shows two 'Cushioned' cars shows a car done with Dan Kohlbergs decals (on the left)(no longer available in N) and one decaled with the new Microscale set. The car on the right also uses some 'lease data' from Dans set in the upper left of the car.

I think the lighter, less dense MS decals look better since they are not overpowering. Or they seem to be slightly weathered faded lettering.
