Snow Plow Stripes and Box Car Door Data

Unread post by AARR »

Hi guys,

What white stripe decals would you suggest for a GTW GP38ac from the 1970's. I see Microscale has a big selection but I don't know what width or angle to get.

I have a CN 50' boxcar red double offset sliding door box car and Chessie System waffle side single sliding door blue box car that need door decals (door size, lock symbols, safety and warning phrases, etc.). Any suggestions?

Thanks

Are you looking for the plow stripes? If so, the Microscale set (HO Scale - Grand Trunk Western Diesels (1961-1992)-Diesel - Blue & Orange Scheme -- Stock# 87-650) has stripes for the plow right on the sheet.

Thanks, GLRF. That's exactly what I'm looking for. I searched the Microscale stock listing but missed that one. Thanks, again.
