Title: Conrail Decals
Post by: ljudice on May 26, 2010, 11:06:21 PM

Anyone know what happened to Matt Snell's CR vehicle decal sets?  They used to be sold at DCCTRAIN, I believe, but do not seem to be listed anymore. I am assuming they are just sold out....  I'll contact them and report back, but just wondering.

Funny you should ask, I just e-mailed them and they are indeed out. I got a police and caboose set, but never got around to the vehicle sets. I'm kicking myself now.

Do any of you belong to the Conrail Modeler's Resource Yahoo Group?  (http://groups.yahoo.com/group/conrailmodelers/)  This subject was just discussed and Matt put the word out for interest in these decals (I missed the announcement).  He got no replies, N or HO.  He stated he is not interested in running them again since the interest is not there.  I got some of the decals the last time he ran them, back in late 2008.  They were very expensive (MOW trucks were $15 a set and black logos were $10 a set).  I ordered 4 black logos for $43.  I had purchased some of the MOW truck and caboose decals from DCC trains, so I have my stash of those.  I hope you guys are able to get your hands on some or can create your own.  Thanks.

Jeff

Maybe it is time to reactivate the decal group buy. I am in for 4 CR MofW vehicle sets.

Who else is with me?

That's pretty slick. Needs a bunch of mow guys though, or a JCD figure.
