Title: US Army Decals
Post by: barrowsr on July 12, 2009, 09:18:12 PM
Does anyone know where I could find decals suitable for rolling stock circa 1950?  Microscale only lists the Civil War era USMRR and a set for diesels.  I'm looking to decorate some flat and box cars for a neighbor boy.  Any help would be appreciated.

while I don't have a direct lead, I suggest you try some of the dry transfer makers out there.

Rick,

I only found aircraft decals on that link - is there one in particular you're referring to?

Walthers.com lists:

460-4391    Military - United States - Railroad Equipment Decals -- US Army Transportation Corps Diesels 1940s+    HO    4.00

About rolling stock I'd give them a call.

Luck-

Rick

Thanks Rick - the 4391 Minicals are the diesel ones I mentioned and too large for rolling stock. 

Thanks Gene - I had given up on Champ because they've stopped production but on your suggestion I went to their site and ordered some USA and USN rolling stock decals which they apparently still have.

I do appreciate the help and suggestions all - if anyone knows of other sources I'd love to hear from you.  I'm also looking for six dome wine car decals and information on the prototypes cars themselves.

Regards,

Robin
