    Tom, nice work as usual. Clean modeling techniques and a unique subject. "Model Railroading is Fun"

    In addition to hoping for a manufacturer in producing a Frisco b/y paint scheme locomotive, or strip down an older model and repaint and detail, I know that my supply of decals for these is dwindling. Has there been any contact with a decal company to produce these decals (other than Oddballs).

    Since I have a handfull of both Atlas and Life-Like GP7's, plus some others that will need work, I would be interested in a b/y decal supplier as well.

    For SLSF b/y GP7's (and RS-2's) -

    A very viable alternative (for HO) is Microscale set 87-85 for the numbers and lettering, plus one of the Microscale striping sets in the correct width (sorry, I don't have the set number right now) for the stripes. Of course, you will need to cut and fit the stripes, but the MS decals are simply terrific to work with - the best in the business in my opinion (Oddballs is/was? a close second). The stripes should be in Dulux gold to match the numbers and lettering in 87-85.
