    Narrowing down the possibilities of a new layout. Looking at West Bottoms area, like others, which would include switching the Armour plant.
    Does anyone know if late 40's early 50's would a block of reefers all have Armour markings. If so, that is going to be a tough one in that the only model I can find is the Intermountain with the small Armour logo, out of production. I have found two. A search would indicate no decals are available. I don't think they went to the large billboard ARMOUR, like on the new Walthers car, until the mid 1950's.

    Any help here.

    Thanks in advance

  2. These might be a little early for your period, but Art Griffin at www.greatdecals.com has some 1890-1920 era Armour decals.

    Note that the browser "find" function on this page seems to be case-sensitive, which means you'll have to search for "Armour" instead of "armour".
