North Hawthorne Car Shops

North Hawthorne Car Shops offers small runs of hard to find decals for model railroad use. Most sets are available for any scale, but sets are listed below with stocked scale and price. Sets not shown will be posted ASAP. Requests for sets that are not made by other manufacturers are welcome. NHCS will not knowingly make a set of decals that is currently available by any manufacturer.

PLEASE NOTE: Due to "the real railroad job" taking much of my time, special & re-orders are taking much longer to complete than expected. Custom Painting services are currently overbooked and no new painting orders are being accepted at this time. If you have placed an order through a dealer, rest assured that if I receive the order, it will be filled as quickly as I can. Some sets have been modified and the instruction sheet and packaging must be changed to match, so causing a delay in their delivery as well.

    I sincerely apologize for any delays or trouble finding decals and kits in stock at dealers. As a "Cottage Industry" it has been difficult to make time for keeping up with the NHCS line while "working on the railroad". I appreciate your patience and occasional emails.
 

HO (N & O likely)  NYS&WBicentennial RS1 252: still polishing up the set to make the frame "stars" easier to apply and possibly adding a white decal stripe prevent having to mask those darn Atlas radiator fins! $??

HO (N & O likely)  GREEN MOUNTAIN 40 foot boxcar: green with yellow sheild and lettering. Includes white chalk marks from a photo of the prototype. Looks AWESOME on a Kadee 40 footer! Finishing instruction sheet. $??
