Bob,

I could use 6 or 7 sets of S scale coal car decal sets--if all the lettering shown on your Gazette drawings are included, each set would letter about 3-4 cars in use in the 1900-1910 era, including the original 1902 coal car lettering (still in use until the "Button" scheme appeared in the mid-1920s), as well as both the inherited and 1902 flat cars.

I suspect others working in HOn3 could also use the sets--Jeff Young could letter his planned 1902 coal cars with these sets.

I would really like to have several of your early C&S passenger car lettering sets printed in S scale as well, for my Overland cars.

Keep up the great work. You and the other Leadville Shops guys (Bill and Doug) are making period modeling of the C&S more and more feasible.
