Not as exciting as a layout shot but; S-scale decal makers are few in number, and selection is usually limited.  I had heard of others using HO scale decals instead.  So I tried an experiment of my own.  One of these cars is lettered using "scale" decals, and the other in HO.  Care to guess? 

 

I have figured out what is wrong with my brain!  On the left side nothing works right, and on the right side there is nothing left!

The brown one.  The smaller reporting marks kind of give it away.

If you're looking for decals try the following:

www.protocraft.com

Looks like they've got a good assortment of all scales.

Also, try www.greatdecals.com  and www.lbrenterprisesllc.com  for lots of S scale decals.

Thanks for the links Firelock.  I have to say I've done business with LBR in the past and was generally satisfied, but lately he has gotten a reputation in the Flyer forums for taking forever and a day to fulfill orders.  In fact I had to request a refund on my last order from him because he could not give me a shipping date on a simple single decal order.  So now I'm looking for new sources.
