Desplaines Hobbies shows S MKT diesel decals. Didn't see anything else. They might have approriate car data sets.
I did a UP E8 and picked up a selection of HO and O decals to get the numbers (and letter - 'B') I needed. Came out okay. Now to sell off the unused decals. I'm also planning on a C&O SW1 and have non-S decals to play with. Patience. :) regards ken garber On Sun, Apr 28, 2013 at 10:22 PM, Joseph <[email protected]> wrote: > Being new to the group, thought I'd post a "hi."
