Restencil for 80's era SP Boxcars
Author: XSP8286W

Im trying to model my Intermountain SP/SSW boxcars for the mid to late 80's era. I know by that time most of the cars had restenciled data and maintenence info. For example, the "SP 5-85" was applied and diff weight restrictions were common. I am trying to find some decals sets to obtain those specific's from. Does anyone have any ideas?

Thanks

Nothing ready to use, not that I've found, anyway. I've always had to piece the bits togehter that I need. Microscale's solid-color decal sheet makes easy paint patches, too.

Re-weigh patches and restencil data is a much-needed item, IMO. I've actually thought about having some custom-printed....

I'm with ya on that one. It gets tedious cutting and splicing together small bits of decals. Very few cars roll on for years without getting re-weighed.

Champ Decals has pre-printed reweigh numbers, dates, and stations for sale. Most of it is steam era, but the reweigh dates go through 1979. They might help. -WC
