HO Decals for a modernized 40 Foot Boxcar - Mike Kieran - 08-30-2013 Does anybody make decals for a modernized 40 foot boxcar (roof walks removed)? Re: HO Decals for a modernized 40 Foot Boxcar - jwb - 08-30-2013 A lot of modernized 40-foot boxcars didn't get repainted, so you've got a choice of using any old scheme you can dig up decals for -- this CP box looks like it's in a 1950s scheme: For later schemes, there are plenty like Microscale 87-251 <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.microscale.com/Merchant2/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Product_Code=87-251&Category_Code=BN&Product_Count=12">http://www.microscale.com/Merchant2/mer ... t_Count=12</a><!-- m --> you might want to poke around the Fallen Flags site and see what you come up with for PC, IC/ICG, Santa Fe, etc. Microscale is a good source, but there are lots of smaller operators out there, too. Re: HO Decals for a modernized 40 Foot Boxcar - Mike Kieran - 08-30-2013 I was looking for a set with the rebuild date under the reporting marks: ![]() If I can run the boxcars without the rebuild date, then I'll just slap on the basic data and then grunge em up. Re: HO Decals for a modernized 40 Foot Boxcar - jwb - 08-30-2013 Microscale 87-2 has reweigh dates like what you're showing there. <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.microscale.com/Merchant2/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Product_Code=87-2&Category_Code=DATA&Product_Count=54">http://www.microscale.com/Merchant2/mer ... t_Count=54</a><!-- m --> Re: HO Decals for a modernized 40 Foot Boxcar - lajry - 08-30-2013 Mike Kieran Wrote:I was looking for a set with the rebuild date under the reporting marks:That's probably what you'll have to do but good luck finding "5/75" all together & hope you don't have to cut & paste. LOL Also you'll need to add the white on black COTS decals: <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.hosam.com/mod/rsdet.html">http://www.hosam.com/mod/rsdet.html</a><!-- m --> |
