    I got self-designed decals so I can progress with typical polisch coaches: bar-car, 1/2 class and couchette:

    Marklin produced also GATX and VTG tank cars in dark grey colour. They were leased by LOTOS - the second biggest Polish oil company. There were also white GATX cars - not produced by Marklin. I made one of them:

    This is a beginning of the whole LOTOS train:

    I do not print decals by myself. I designed them and they vere printed via MF-Zone: http://www.mf-zone.pl/index.html
    They specialize in decals for sport cars.
