Does anyone know where we can purchase decals for the new MTH R36's? They do not have them on it. They are beautiful. Saw a set at Little Choo Choo Shop in North Carolina.

What about Island ModelWorks?
The decals from Island Model Works are not bad, but they are slightly smaller then the original ones on the first run of this car. Also the backround of the decal is white instead of silver. I made my own logos from art work that Steve (SIRT) was so helpful in sending to me. If you have the patience to cut out your own logos then that is another way to have them. Once I cut the logos to shape I used a little adhesive spray to the back of the logo and afixed it to the car. The process I described takes some time and patience, but I am pleased with the results.
I noticed from pictures of the last run of this car that it appears that there is only one side that has the MTA logo. Is that correct?

Each car has one logo behind the motorman's window.

Great, that is how I did up my set. Thanks Stuart.
I recieved my R-36's the other day from Ready-To-Roll in Miami, FLA. The cars are beautiful. What a nice job mike and crew did. Keep up the good work guys.
Thank you all for responding to the thread. I will be ordering the decals from Island Modelworks. They look great.

One of the guys at my club had the model works decals, they looked perfectly fine on the set.
MTH should be embarrassed to put out an undecorated set like that.
I guess they figure if it has wheels, anyone will buy it.
As for the T/A IMW decals, they are not even close.
CORRECT VERSION...
They might still have legal issues with the logos. Besides, some people just want the train, and don't care about the small stuff.
Our decals are extremely close. We just released a new set of TA logos with a silver background that are slightly larger at a scale 30".
Scroll down to the bottom of the page. Click on the title to see an image of the decal. Please note, that the image has a dark gray background, however, on the actual decal, it is a metallic silver.
Thanks,
Joe
