1 H30a , 2 chlorine cars , and maybe 2 g22's all in white would make me right . Might as well reach for that brass ring . Thanks for reading .

Before you do that, I'm buddies with the guy who is Mount Vernon shops. He's pretty busy, but might be able to help out on the decal front as well.

I seem to remember that John offered to do any of his HO decals in N scale in lots of 10-20 (can't remember offhand) some time ago. He may still be up for this. As Bob at traincat has yet to put decals together for either the H30s or the G22s, the crew here could probably commit to buying up 20 sets? I know I need at least 5 sets of each.

I'm not sure if he is still in business, but Jerry Glow mentions on his site that he will do his decal sets in N scale upon request.
He lists decals for H30s H32s and H33s amongst others.

Back on track, Ha! I get it!  :D
Glad to hear things are picking back up.
There's quite the buzz about your G22 now that we have containers for them. Your websites says the decals are coming soon. Are there any plans for those? I think there is a very high demand for them now.
John at MVS is already "at least" peripherally aware of the need for these decals.

I doubt anyone here wants to step on anyone else's toes in trying to get these decals. But I also don't think anyone really cares where we get them, so long as we do indeed get them.

I won't be there, but that's really great to hear!!!

Also, John's pretty busy these days, but I think he'd still be interested in doing the things.

David please let us know when dealers receive these.  I missed out on your crawlers since they seem to be sold out everywhere I look and don't want to miss these.

Now got to find photos of what type of cranes were used to place and remove these from cars.

It's nice to live down the road from master craftsmen, as I get samples to play with every now and then. 8)

Here are the DB4A containers in the TrainCat gondola.  The molded color has a maroon hue, so I'll be painting these to match the G22.



Three of the containers have loops and cables hanging over the sides, so I put each of those in a corner position.  One container has no cables, so I put that one in the middle.  The others I arranged here and there to maintain the total randomness of the collection.



I'm thinking of gluing these to a thin sheet of styrene so the collection can be placed in the car as a unit, and so that the current arrangement is maintained.  That would also save the need of having to decal all four faces of each container.

Bryan,

It looks like you have about 2 feet to spare...  MTL makes a foobie G22 50-footer and it almost looks like those containers would fit.

Hi David,

Just ordered two of the crawlers so when do you expect the hoppers with opening doors to be available.   :D :D :D :D :D :D

This is what sold the D2



I do hope you do not mind daniel_leavitt2000 but you have done a great job finishing the model.

Regards

Al
