Hello all........new to the board. Live in Houston TX, but my hometown is Springfield Mo. I thought I would just jump in with a question. Anyone know where to buy decals for Frisco passenger cars? No luck on the internet. Looking for them in yellow & red. I own some IHC cars and they are too generic. Thanks in advance. Alan
Oddballs Decals have Frisco passenger car decals in red and yellow ("Imitation gold") in N and HO scales. Oddballs also has a "free-lance" (Not completly prototypical) red M-K-T set that has some different names that will work for Frisco. And finally Micro Scale has Santa Fe (Imitation gold) and SP (Red) sheets that have lettering that can be used like "Railway Express Agency" and "United States Mail Railway Post Office" etc. Both the Frisco and Katy sets have "Railway Express Agency" and "United States Mail Railway Post Office." Bothe sets have "Kansas City" and "Tulsa." The Frisco set has "Memphis" and the Katy set has "Oklahoma City." Tom Edit: Micro Scale has a Kansas City Southern passenger car set and there's a "Joplin" among the car names. It's a little brighter yellow than the Oddballs set, but I used it on an N scale car and it looks pretty good.
Oddball is the only source that I know of, although his "red" set does not have a lot of car names for the streamlined cars. The set appears to be a better fit for heavyweight cars that were modernized for METEOR or TEXAS SPECIAL service. Champ used to have sets for the TEXAS SPECIAL and gold sets for heavyweight cars, but, of course, they have folded their tent. You might have some luck scaring up a few sets by posting a "Want to Buy" on HO Yardsale's web site. GS
