    Anyone know of hobby shops that might have some CB&Q decals for e units? Microscale's e unit decals have been discontinued for a while and after speaking to them, they have no intention of running them again. Trying to find some new old stock. Any scale would be fine, as I could scan them in and print them out at the right scale, though I am doing this in n.

    I was afraid of this. The last set of decals I got last summer from Microscale showed a lot of CB&Q decals on the discontinued list. Problem with hobby shops is most stopped carrying decals around ten years ago or so. Longs Drugs used to be my source but I believe they are gone now. Check e-Bay and if your a member of the CB&Q historical society, maybe ask through them as they have a good many modelers in there.

    I have at least one set I plan to use on a Kato E8, let me check and see if I have another set as sometimes I purchase in duplicate for this very reason.

    Thanks again. I think this is now taken care of :) I think there is still room in the world for custom modeling. Hopefully they can figure out the business end to make it feasible.
