Re: (erielack) CR/PRR merger decals

["Bill K." <"pontiac_@_dreamscape.com">]

Now if someone out there who does custom decals (hint hint) would do a CR
Merger renumber pack.. say one sheet with both styles of PRR and both
locomotive number styles on black background, number board numbers, some
PRR patch decals for frieght cars, and to go with it some NYC patch
decals/numbers for frieght cars and some of those CSX yellow numbers for
engines.. maybe on a blue background, throw it at your Athearn and be ready
to go?   Number board numbers on these will be tough, a lot of them are
only about half normal size and would call for an N-scale second decal
sheet I think.

Be sure to include the 1700 series the EL SD45-2's are in - gives this a
little list content!
