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??
