hibar posted:George Stock who had a hobby shop in Philly did excellent hand lettering and striping, I was in his shop once in the late 60s and saw some examples, quite impressive.
I have three George Stock GG1s that date from the late 30's to the late 40's in HO. His models were good for the time and not easy to find. I have yet to find a Stock steam engine. He was a true pioneer in HO models in the US going back to 1930 and also a master at hand lettering and striping. Wish my models of his were actually painted by him.
