Santa Fe Reefer Decals
Author: santafesteve

Does anyone know of anyone who is making decals for 40' ice bunker repainted reefers with the large, 8' Santa Fe logo. All the ones I can find are 8/12' and 9' witch is to large for the car.
Thanks.

Steve,

Microscale makes these with the 8' herald.

P. S.  I just rechecked the dimensions, forgot about that extra 6" on left of scale rulers. These are 8'.6" in diameter. I need to do some ATSF 40' ice reefers too. Never checked the decal against the car side, how bad off is it?

It doesn't fit. If you check the diameter of the black herald on the Microscale sheet 255 (I just bought 3 of them) it is 9'. The herald on a Intermountain 40' reefer with the large herald it is 8'.I also bought some of the other decal sheets that Microscale printed and the black heralds are all 9'. I have a number of Intermountain kits to put together that are duplicate numbers and I would like to paint them uo with the large herald but no decals ,that i can find, were produced.
