looking for some old decals

[kevin2083]

I'm looking for some decals for the CPLT (see signature). I came across
this:
Harold-King  B-1040 HO Boxcar Cascade Green 50' (5-77) Wht decal

http://www.trainweb.org/foothill/cpltmodels.html

is it suppposed to say "Hearld King"?

I've searched Ebay, google, yahoo, and, of coarse, good search. The only thing I found was the site above.

They offered some really good artwork on little known roads (as well as for some EMD decals)

Good luck!

According to a recent post on the Atlas forum, HK is in the process of coming back - at a possible cost of $5 for the decal & $5 for shipping.  I suggest you go to the Atlas forum  & do a search for "Herald King".  That should bring up this information.

Yep, their website is up on 11 Dec 2007. I see they got 217 hits already when I just checked.

Here's the link

Thanks for the replies and links. I really didn't expect to hear that they were back in business. Any hope of the price coming down a little?

I would say, just buy the decals, and help support the industry or something like that.  As I hope for N scale decal sources in the future...

I guess the price is fine for the decals, but 4.95 for shipping seems like a little much for a sheet of decals.

Shipping is a bit high even for just one set. It seems you have to submit a request in order to see if it is in stock. I don't think the decals are "fresh".

I just brought some decals from Max Gray's old decal company and paid only $1.50 for postage on 4 sets.

Yea, the shipping does seem high, who knows why...
