Interesting problem. We've had similar difficulties over here in the UK with the new privatised train operators. Many of them would not allow decal companies to produce "their" decals, but they would allow Hornby et al to use their logos and paint schemes on RTR models. Apparently this is because they would have no control over the use of their logos if they were produced as decals, which could supposedly reflect badly on them. However, this point was made in many a letter to magazines over here, if model train enthusiasts are forced to create their own decals (this was before the availability of decal paper that would go in a normal printer), the results may not be very good. Surely the company would rather see decent renditions of their logo instead of a selection of hand-painted versions of varying quality?
