I have uploaded two new files to the OBS-CALS folder. Both are for HO scale
Burlington premerger box cars.
Please note that one of the messages sent as notification of new file uploaded
will not work. That is because in all my brilliance I forgot to change the font
from black to white. The samples files are my artwork placed on a blue
background for visibility of the white lettering. Artwork for white generally
is black and the white ink is chosen at the time of printing.
One set will do a 40 or 50 foot box car and the other will do one RBBQ
insulated box. The artwork is all new. Two Burlington modelers happened to
contact me about doing these sets within a few weeks of each other. These
gentlemen supplied me with links to photos and supplied information regarding
the proper "small print' for these cars.
The 40 - 50 foot box car set is $4.00/set. The RBBQ insulated car set is
$5.25/set. The RBBQ cars required grouping the lettering to fit between the
ribs. This also required supplying addition space around the various groupings
for the user to be able to cut them from the sheet without damaging any of the
surrounding lettering. And they have addition lettering for the doors and the
ends that take space and required additional artwork. All this means I cannot
get as many sets on a sheet of decal paper making them more expensive to
produce.
I print on Alps printers using Bare Metal Foil laser paper. This paper is as
good as any (better than many) I've used over the years and is definitely on a
par with Microscale paper. As I print upon order my decals are indeed fresh.
In addition to printing per order I can print these sets in any scale. Of
course there will be differences in costs for S, O or G scales. I cannot
guarantee how readable they would be in N or Z scales. For those who like the
older scales OO and TT are just as doable as HO.
I ship via USPS First Class mail. I can ship USPS Priority Mail if requested
but this will cost $3.50 - $4.00 more per shipment.
