I received a package in the mail today from Iowa. It contained over 100 sets of O scale decals, new & complete sets. The return address was unreadable, on purpose I think. There was a note that said they wanted to pass them on to me but it was unsigned.
Thank you to the anonymous gift, whoever you are!
I can see many new cabs in the future, especially CN & CP, those maple leaf decals are beautiful!

Congratulations - you deserve them. 
I love reading stuff like this. Our local newspaper once a week prints one "How Rude" and one "How Nice" reader submission, but some weeks they are overwhelmed and have to print two "How Nice". There are some good folks out there. 
my wife always tells me if you send positive, you receive positive.
apparently this is one of those. nice to hear it.
that's what we are all about.

That is very true. As they say "sharing is caring".
A very fitting gesture...a nice batch of decals for a man who will put them to excellent use! Good for you Malcolm.

Malcolm,
That's 100 more projects you have on your plate now 
Were they all different brands and RRs???
Great! With O scale decals getting hard to find, that is a great gift. Tell us when
you gen out a caboose with a set on it.

OUTSTANDING!!!!
Malcolm you deserve and need the decals and that was a nice gesture from the benefactor, because you are a decent man.
Stay Well,
Ralph
That's too cool Malcolm 
There's a number of folks that are either here on the forum or use to be that have kindly given (items and knowledge) to me and others:
Ed Reutling
David Friedlander
Bob Turner
Martin Brechbiel
Jim Policastro
Ed Bommer
Warren Calloway
Jon Z
and more than I can remember. Just about everyone on here has given free advice at some point.
OK, what's gonna be your first project with a new set of Champ decals?
Malcolm, they couldn't have went to a better modelers.....and the person who sent the decals a very well done....

Awesome! Another indication that if you are into model trains you get multiple Christmas a year.
Yes, O scale decals are very scarce as my son found some CB@Q engine decals and told me he bought all he could get. He is looking for a SD9 a hard to find in 2 rail O scale. He just won a Sunset Heavy mike on Ebay. He loves them CB@Qs. I might later this yr try and trade for a Sunset Colorado for him after I sell my cabin. But finding O scale decals is just going to get harder as us modelers buy ready to run models.
And yes, I have no problem sending away parts and pieces that I don't use anymore to someone looking. A few $ here and there makes little difference and giving usually is a joy.
