February 2010: It's been a great year
for Mount Vernon Shops so far. We
just received our shipment of HO
Scale PRR FM Class Flatcar decals
and the quality, as anyone can expect
from the best printer in the business is
excellent. The formal announcement
will be made shortly through
multimedia channels.
January 2009: Happy New Year!
With a new year, comes new
products. Please check out the HO
M53 decals which I produced, and are
being sold exclusively by the B&O
Hiostorical Society. Here on the
Company Store page, it's product
33061. Also, I am working on getting
more Pennsy decals out. An order was
just placed with Microscale for HO
FM flatcar decals. Look for these by
the end of February. Finally, we will
have our products for sale at the Great
Scale Model Train Show at the Cow
Palace in Timonium, MD on February
6th & 7th.
November 12, 2009:
Effective Immediately Mount Vernon
Shops is ceasing production of its
structure kits to focus soley on decal
production. A new and unique
business opportunity has prompted
this change. Any remaining kits will be
sold and then retired until further
notice.
October, 2009:
Mount Vernon Shops is happy to
announce its cooperative partnership
with the B&O Railroad Historical
Society and two resin kit
manufacturers in providing decal
artwork for an upcoming freight car
kit. This project will be the first of
many with these other manufacturers,
working together to bring you, the
modeler, to make the most accurate
products on the market.

regularly stocked decal line. Decals for
PRR's 80,000 lb. Class Y4 Scale Test
