Group, Are there any HO scale decals available for the CSP? I found this picture on a web site for Railsbythebay2005 hosted by railroad prototype modelers. ...
Dave, That is Paul Mack's model. Paul used to be active on this list, but I haven't heard from him for a while. It would be pretty easy to print those decals...
Here is an old message from Paul regarding the decals. Last time I was there, the hobby shop in Spokane also had a Railnet B23-7 on display. The decals may...
