I can't help but notice a glaring oversight in that no one mentions the decal or shows a photo of the decal on the rear of the A, B or C trailers.

Hi Joe,

I've always thought the decals on these models were an attractive feature. So I went looking through my photobucket to see if I had any images showing the decals at all, but alas, no. I did find this nice line up though, so thought I'd share it anyway.

Colours and decals. J

Very nice J - perhaps the decals did not fix as well to the metallic green paint?

Cheers,

Here are six colours and Gavin the decal does stick well to Metalic Green, notice how different the thin and thick printing is on the decals.
