Author: bigkidpgh

taking a shot in the dark here - anyone know of HO scale decals for boxcars - "KEEP OFF ROOF  NO RUNNING BOARDS" like in the pic?
thanks

There are some on the Freight Car data decal sheets from Microscale.

These are found on house cars after the running boards are removed but the high mount brake wheel is left where it was installed. On the A end of the car both tall ladders are shortened to usually 4 rungs. You only need the yellow warning message on the B end.

Several years ago I made the decals with an ink-jet printer. Low quality was dissatisfied, but now should have improved the performance.The second picture showed my Roundhouse Modern diesel era box car in kitbashing.
If you are interested in, please see my blog articles, written in Japanese language.

There's a more modern version of this label that reads "THIS CAR EXCESS HEIGHT NO RUNNING BOARDS." These can be found on both ends of the car, like this CSX 86' box car:

CSXT 180899 A-end:

B-end:
http://drolsen.rrpicturearchives.net/showPicture.aspx?id=438409

These labels were included in the Microscale CSX 60' / 86' box car decal set, but they don't quite match the earlier wording.

I wonder why CSXT places these on cars which have no way to reach the roof.
