I don't want to be spreading unfounded rumors, but many people have had
orders in with Oddball for years without any delivery.
There have been various stories about his Alps printer that died, folks
suing him, girlfriend troubles, and issues with the Post Office. I can
varify that I've placed orders about two years ago and never have
received them. I contacted him, he had no record of my order, so I sent
it again with no results. At this time my check remains un-cashed,
which is a good thing I guess. On the other hand, I wanted decals for a
Downs tank car and two CD hoppers that are aging in their boxes while I
age waiting for them.

Joe: Ill second David on Oddball Decals go there and have a look.
There are some transition era decals to work with and heralds, if you
are modeling later than 1965-68 this is a good place to start. Start
small, the prices aren't that bad for a try out compared to customs.

decals can be sold to fellow modelers. Check the MKT historical
society too.
