Attached are photos of repainted J's Harry did for us, and which I posted last month. He is using decals for the lettering. The customers I have talked with that have had this done were very pleased. Obviously, these photos include weathering which is an extra charge, in Lionel's offer.
My interpretation is that the customer is responsible for the shipping to Harry and Lionel is paying for the repaint, and the return shipping.
While I am talking, if you'd like a J and you buy it from us, we will pay to send it to Harry, and Lionel will pay for the repaint and the return shipping, and I will pay Harry to weather it for you.
