One of the problems in finding Police Cars of any era is that they all tend to be two door models, with high end features, rather than the "plane Jane", four door, no chrome, black wheels, and tires that are typical of government vehicles. Bill

Gerry Evans In St. Louis http://www.policecarmodels.com/ ----- Original Message ----- From: Bill Lane To: [email protected] Sent: Thursday, March 24, 2011 8:27 AM Subject: {S-Scale List} Donut Shop & Decals All, I just decaled the donut for my donut shop and now call it almost completed. http://www.lanestrains.com/Donut_Shop.jpg I have had this kit for about 5 years with the full knowledge of what it would be when it was done. It is named for 1 of my best friends - a retired police officer.. I am now looking for pre 1955 police cars that hopefully do not have a town marking on them. I will have to remove it if they do. I found the decals on eBay. I am convinced that eBay has everything. Can you believe they had a Moylan's Donuts decal in S Scale for sale? It is an alphabet set made by Virnex Industries. I never heard of them before, but I am sold now. They were a bit pricey though but are very nice - very opaque and the decal film is the **exact** shape of the letters - even more so than Microscale. The decals settled into the very rough texture of the donut (which I swear is a copy cast of a real donut!) really well with just the Microscale solutions I had to keep the whole thing "live" at once and push all the decals around until I liked it. It was 1 of the most difficult decal jobs I have ever done. It took me over an hour of prodding. Who else is going to get a building named after them on my layout? You will just have to wait and see. I have a few ideas already...
