If I recall correctly, they went out of business, but I could be wrong.

Miller sold off the Herald King Decal Division 7 or 8 years ago to an unknown buyer, who had intended to reissue them but that never happened. A sad loss to us painters.

Someone else asked the very same question a couple of weeks ago, so might try a search. I think the consensous was that some have been available on E-bay.

I maybe wrong but I thought it was mentioned here once that the owner passed on and the family, due to some infighting could not agree on a reasonable selling price. They had some great decals.

You could be right, I just remember waiting for them to reappear and waiting and waiting…

From what I have seen on these forums, Accurail has been for sale for quite a while, and will probably be the next to move on.

Many of these manufacturers are small companies and when the owners are ready to retire then the company is sold or folds up. This was the situation at Stewart Hobbies, luckily they sold to Bowser so we will still have their cars and engines available.

Look at Herald King, the owner died and the family wants too much money for the artwork so we have lost a large quantity of decals for cars made in the 60’s and 70’s which is an era many modelers are still doing prior to the mega-mergers.

My LHS will not deal with Horizon so I have to go farther afield to purchase Athearn, MDC and Intermountain Products.

I found this in the archives.
