Gentlemen:
I have had correspondence with Jerry Jordak in
regards to PC decals. I am sure that most if not all are well aware of the
limited number of sets available now that Champ has discontinued many sets and
that Herald King has gone out of business. (I have been told by another
decal manufacturer that despite many contacts to the present owner of Herald
King that there is no interest in producing or selling the line or even
returning messages.) As far as decals, I have seen other groups, clubs,
and individuals have custom sets made. Examples include some of the sets
listed in the by the SCL historical society on their website and several sets
made for my father's ficticous Pittsburgh Muskingum and Hocking. The
purpose of this message is to find out if there are any others that feel that
this may be something to undertake. Obviously, the larger the order or the
bigger the market, then the more there will be willingness for someone to take
on such a project.
I have had two thoughts that I feel could be
practical and would at least be a good starting point-
1. Varrious sized logos in white and black
and PENN CENTRAL text sets as well. These can be used for most cars, and
dimesional and other data can be obtained from other sets or available
sources.
2. "PENN CENTRAL" font letters
and numbers, uses include: cars, towers, stations, reporting marks (P & E),
etc. Once again in black and white, and assorted prototypical sizes.
If anyone out there is interested in such a
project, have started one, or know of a decal maker or hobbyist that is willing
to listen, please respond.

P.S. any other PC modlers or fans here in the
South??
