    Price for one Champ HC-646 Gould flat car set, plus one Champ HT-184 NATX tank car set, is $2.50 plus $2.50 = $5.00, plus $0.50 for postage, equals $5.50 total.
    Please use PayPal "friends & family" so there is no fee.
    Thanks! Ken

  5. Thanks Ken, I will paypal now. I was hoping you would be more discreet with my green selection!! HAHAHA Also you asked about why "modeltruckshop" . You were correct I am more of a vehicle modeler than railroad modeler really. I enjoy trains (mainly FRISCO of course) but no layout. I would need you guys to wire it for me. I would have to build a big static diorama or just one loop. HA In the words of Homer Simpson, "lord help me I'm just not that bright".

    Seriously, I like the green & white BN diesel scheme. I always thought it was attractive and functional, and I like that shade of green. The problem of course is that after 1980, they took our Frisco away. From that point on, every time I saw a BN unit it just confirmed that the SLSF was no more.

    Here are a few decal sets some of you might be interested in:

    o I found one more Champ HX-8 Frisco Express Reefer set, in Dulux color. It is obviously good for doing an express reefer, but the main value to me is that the Champ FRISCO lettering in Dulux is in my opinion the best. Price $2.50 plus postage. One set available.
    o I have one set from an unknown manufacturer for a Frisco passenger steam locomotive. Very nice decals. Includes all the doric striping, several sets of numbers of different sizes, the FRISCO for the cab, and also a QA&P for the cab if you so desire. Other small detailed lettering as well. For a relatively small engine - the tender numbers are not as big as they would be for 1500's, 4300's, 4400's, 4500's. Price $2.50 plus postage. One set available.
    o (X)Herald King set DS-1, diesel nose stripes, 45 degree Dulux color chevrons. Two different width chevrons, 1" & 1 3/8", stripes are a bit wider than 1/16". Cut what you need to fit. There is also a bunch of small lettering for locomotives, also in Dulux. Price $2.50 plus postage. One set.
    o A partial EH-246 set, Frisco steam freight locomotive. Some numbers have been used, plenty left. The cab side FRISCO lettering is included. White lettering. I've also thrown in a Frisco FFF decal set with stripes for the heck of it - one end of the stripes is slightly damaged. Price $2.00 plus postage. One set.
    o And some special Oddballs unopened "Coonskin" sets:
    - (X)Set 87-812, FRISCO black & white heralds, 1/2", 3/4", 1", 1 1/2". For buildings, bridges,
    water tanks, etc. I put one from another set on my power pack. Cost $2.50 plus postage.
    One set.
    - Set 87-821, FRISCO LINES white heralds, for steam era water tanks, etc, painted black.
    Heralds roughly the same size as 87-821, but are "Lines" decals. Price $2.00 plus postage.
    One set.
    - Set 87-813, FRISCO black & white heralds, 1 3/4" & 2". For use on buildings, bridges, water
    tanks, advertisements. Price $2.50 plus postage. One set.
    - Set 87-822, FRISCO LINES white heralds, for steam era water tanks, etc painted black.
    Essentially same sizes as 87-813. Price $2.00 plus postage. One set.
    - Set 87-823, FRISCO LINES white heralds, 2 1/4" & 2 1/2", for steam era water tanks, etc.
    Price $2.00 plus postage. One set.

    Let me know if you have questions. Payment as before. Thanks.

    From Microscale. Here are some HO decals many of you might be interested in:
    (X) = Sold
    o (X)(X)Set 87-85, Frisco Cab Diesels and Cabooses. This is the most valuable decal set we have for those of you who love black & yellow diesels. I've used them for not only EMD and Also cab units, but GP7's, and SW's and other switchers. I think Microscale is the best decal available, in particular when you use the Microscale system. These sets are relatively new, and are in their sealed, unopened packages. Look it up on Microscale.com. The set has FRISCO's, coonskins, numbers, Ship it's, diamonds, small and large lettering, etc galore. Black, white, Dulux colors. Price at Microscale today is $8.25 per set.

    o (X)Set MC-4319, Frisco 40-ft Piggy Back Trailer. Set has four Frisco "Pigs are Beautiful" logos, plus all sorts of trailer lettering, numbers, builders plates (Trailmobile, Strick, Dorsey).

Two logos per railroad (4 for TRRA), lots of lettering, numbers, in the correct colors. Relatively new, it its sealed, unopened package. Look it up on Microscale.com. Price at Microscale is $8.25.

Look it up on Microscale.com. Relatively new, in its sealed, unopened package. Price at Microscale is $8.25. Price to frisco.org folks is $5.00 plus postage.

    OK Keith. Thanks! Cost is $4.75, plus $1.00 for postage (I'll need to use a flat).
    These add a nice touch. Be sure to use the right era plate for the particular locomotive you are doing (based on date of manufacture) as both EMD and GE changed them through the years.

    Mike -
    Thanks much for your order. Unfortunately, I only have one Microscale 87-4056 Diesel Builders Plates, and it is already sold. Good news, however, it is in stock at Microscale.com, so have a look there/ Just type in the 87-4056 stock number in their decal search bar and it should [pop up for you. Price is a tad higher than me - $5.25 I believe.
    But ....
    The two 87-85 Frisco Cab Diesels and Cabooses are yours, as is one of the two Oddballs 187-727 SLSF Motor Car sets. I'll get back to you on payment & shipping in a bit.
    Ken
