Hello All,
I just completed 2 new MOC's for BricksWest; a Union Pacific SW9 with calf
and the San Diego Coaster that was designed by James Mathis.

The switcher and calf looks great. I like the decals. The hardest thing to
get right is the scale proportions and think you got dead on.  I cannot
remember the correct person's name but they made decals for stained glass

I made the UP decals using PhotoShop and clear label stock. I'm not • terribly
happy with them yet, so I will probably change them soon.
