Charles, I can tell you that Norm does a very nice job on decals. He does the art work, and has Microscale do the production. He did the Gibson Wine car decals in S scale at my request when I gave him a photo of the prototype which allowed him to greatly improve his existing art work for the O scale decals for that car. He decided to do the other two tank car sets of decals in S on his own. The 3 sets of S scale decals Norm now markets will have to sell fairly well before he attempts any additional S scale decals. I've watched him create some of his art work,and he is very meticulous about his work.
