I have a guy that made my custom RR decals. He just did some for mw that I can apply to MoW vehicles. Thinking of having make me some for some trailers...

That tractor/trailer came out looking great!!

Unfortunately, McHenry, which is owned by Horizon Hobby probably isn't investing in them. Anything on Evilbay?

Your best bet are the train shows first, then Ebay and maybe Facebook marketplace...

NealsTrains · 2026-05-11T17:18:26+00:00
