Working with Hank Stephens of Georgia Road fame and Jim Abbot from High Ball Graphics here is the first peek of my new railroad graphics.Boxcar and other railcars to follow. :mrgreen:

Hopper decals cost me $83.50,but that includes Jim's set up work (no charge from Hank for design work) a 8.5" by 11" sheet of HO decals and a half sheet of N scale.Next sheets will be $35.00 and $20.00.I am assuming the boxcar decals will end up costing the same since there will be just as much work involved.
:mrgreen: I have not asked about Z scale decals yet.

Decals came today for the covered hoppers. I have one ATLAS car painted painted and two Accurail cars gloss coated so tomorrow I will start decaling.
Oh, and paint the other ATLAS hopper and gloss coat the two remaining Accurail cars. :mrgreen:

Nice graphics Catt!
Re: New graphics for the Grande Valley Railway. - Catt - 07-04-2014
I thought it was about time for a graphics update since the original was over 10 years old.Hank took my idea for a border on the logo and you can see what he created for me.To say I am pleased with what Hank designed and Jim (Highball Graphics) printed is an understatement.
Now I just need to save up another $83.50 so I can get the boxcar decals done.Going to see if I can talk Jim into doing at least the logos,names and reporting marks in Z for me.

Thanks Kev,
The new graphics have been a long time coming but I am very pleased with them.With a little luck by mid August the boxcar graphics should be in house. :mrgreen:

That looks great! Very nice. I'm still planning to letter a loco with the decals you sent me.
