If you have any recommendations, please post them here and I will add to a running tabulation. Manufacturer Web Site / Contact Info Scale(s) Types of Car(s)/Locomotives Other? Thanks, -Bob T.

Number Boards for Diesels: The ShellScale Decals Number Board System https://www.shellscale.com/numberboard page.htm
I work with a couple of excellent custom builders/painters for my 3D models and they use Circus Decals. Circus City Decals (contact Matt - custom decal service also available) https://circusdecals.ecwid.com/search?keyword=FRISCO Scales: N / HO / S / O / G Types of Car(s)/Locomotives: Texas Special passenger cars and E7s -Mike
I need to try those ShellScale decals. I hate doing number boards. I’ve use lots of Mask Island. I’ve used some Circus City also. They are nice. For modern modelers they sell preweathered Railbox sets I like.
Frisco Friends Bill Brillinger (https://www.pdc.ca/rr/catalog) has a custom set of "Frisco System" C&EI decals for 36-ft boxcars. I don't think they are in the catalog, and you can email to request them. I ordered a full sheet and will share images (and a few sets) when they come in. Edit: I have also asked about a version with the S.T.L.&S.F. lettering. -Bob T.
I don't think there has been an actual Frisco SL passenger set since Walthers. Oddball had a quasi-set, with the red road name, but the car names were not correct for the SL cars. GS
K4 Supply (K4 Decals) released a number of Frisco and QA&P decal sets recently: Current What's New link: https://k4decals.com/collections/wh...0NFEX_pGA0_2nKqLNWsdYHdfmMsjiaEpKTdSuAXImy-XI Main Page: https://k4decals.com/ Quanah, Acme and Pacific plug door boxcar.
