I am looking for diesel painting and lettering diagrams. Over the past two years I've been having fun playing around with N scale Frisco set in St. Louis in 1980. However an S scale switching layout set in the late 1950s has become more appealing. Early GPs, Fs and SWs are available but need decals. I started artwork but could really benefit from actual drawings. Can anyone help? Anyone else out there interested in S scale decals? Tom P Gainesville VA
I think I have lettering diagrams that came with some (HO) Microscale (E, F, GP units plus caboose) sets that I have. I could photocopy them and send them to you if you think these would help. I am sure by now you are more than clear on the fact that yours is a minority scale without much support from suppliers. GS
One of those Microscale sheets was posted here by Karl Brand a day or two ago: http://www.frisco.org/vb/attachment.php?attachmentid=26962&d=1396908545 Tom G.
I have the Microscale HO decals to reference. They are helpful but I was looking for primary sources. My S scale locomotives waiting for new paint include a couple of SW9s, a half dozen GP9s that could be converted to GP7s and an AB set of F3s. A couple of wide vision cabooses could use a new paint job too. So the Microscale decals provide a good starting point but there might be better info out there. Tom P Gainesville VA
The books: Frisco In Color by Marre and Sommers and Frisco In Color, Volume Two by Greg Stout are goldmines of color photos. Frisco didn't leave much behind in surviving "official" painting diagrams/drawings. At this stage of history, photographs are probably all that's left for painting and lettering reference. Tom G.
