[PRR-talk] Walthers Decals

[Peter Weiglin]

Yes, I used the Walthers decals with satisfaction -- on kits I built in the 1950s and 
1960s, when "satisfaction" was achieved with much less research and effort than is the 
case today.  They were thick, which was less of a problem then, as thinner-filmed decals 
were not available.  They did stick.  But they were not nearly as accurate in terms of 
appearance (lettering style and color) and conformity to the prototype as we find today.

Ultimately, it's your choice, but today's Pennsy modeler is far less likely to find the 
old Walthers decals a source of "satisfaction."
