The stick on truck decals are a neat idea, wish they would expand on how they work - do they cover the entire sides of the trucks, or do they have to be cut around the lettering? Also only the newer sets have links to samples, I would have liked to see others that may be of interest.

This is sort of like an article in a recent Narrow Gauge & Shortline Gazette where the author photographed the elaborate lettering on a moving van. He then printed off the whole sides of the truck on label paper, and stuck them on his model. A very effective method that can be done at home!

From some of the samples, they look to be the complete sides, I'm sure you could trim some off in an effort to no lose detail, but then you have the problem of color matching. I'm going to attempt to help him make the collection better, with more products and images...
