So, I need a set of decals for both A&EC #400 and #401.

Specifically, I need the lettering, numbers, the A&EC tobacco leaf logo, and that red winged thing on the nose.

Now, note, the winged thing was repainted yellow later on, but I think I'd prefer to do the as-delivered reddish-orange, mostly because matching decals to the yellow painted strips would be difficult.

The lettering should be Chicago and North Western green.

Their decal paper actually is very good.  I'm going to make a bunch of Wild West style signs for structures for an HOn3 module with it.

I’d like to get some these too! I did ask this guy on eBay to make Atlantic and east Carolina boxcar decals and he did!

It might be worth it to ask if he wants to make these.

This guy is a buddy of mine (Matt).  His stuff is great; real quality work.

I can echo Nate's comment about Matt's decals. I have used several and found them to be quality products, easy to apply, laid down very well and after some weathering no shapes seen. FYI, I used his "Louisiana Hot Sauce" tank car decal and his UP tool car decal.

I do want to put on my leader/mentor hat for just a moment...  Your original post never once uses the word "please" nor mentions a willingness to pay or trade.  Just an assumption that someone will do this for you along with several instances of "I need."

That was an oversight.  I am willing to pay to have this done.
