Conrail Ballast Express C32 decals MC-4222 Have any?

I'm in need of a set of Microscale decals.   Having trouble finding any.

https://www.microscale.com/Merchant2/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Store_Code=MD&Product_Code=MC-4222&Category_Code=CR

If you could sell me a set- great.
Or if you could loan them to me, that will work too.    I need a set to get started on drawing and prep work to make some in N scale.   So I won't even be cutting and using the HO set.

PM me if you could help out a fellow modeller.

Here's what I'll be making in the pale gray scheme:

I’d suggest setting a search on eBay that notifies you, if and when a set becomes available.  Looks like one set may have sold recently.

Alternatively, could you work from the artwork on Microscale’s website?  While that may seem unethical at first, the facts that (A) you’re not going to sell these decals that are solely for your own use, and (B) they’re unavailable from Microscale in any scale might mitigate those concerns.

I made a set.  It really doesn't take very long and I quite enjoy the research.  Ron's going to check the proof but I'm glad to make up a set for anyone who wants one.  Fusion Scale Graphics does the printing.

Those look great. Any chance I could convince you to add a little bit of lettering to those?

Specifically the Ballast Express sub lettering for a C36-7:

If you could do that I’d be very interested in this set.

Having said that, if you can’t change it, I’m still very interested in this set.

Thanks,

Nick

Good thing I randomly saw this post; better off PM'ing such a question.

Anyway--if all you want is white sub-lettering for a C36-7 that's a piece of cake, I'd do it for free/cost of a stamp if you can wait until I have another set being printed.  If you want the whole set and add that, it's also easy enough to add it but the cost is more.

Also I am waiting on feedback about the original set--Ron was going to see how they went down on the model.
