Re: Red Caboose 103W welded tank car (& Cocoa Beach)
al_brown03
I'm doing the 103W as a USAX car, and am about ready to letter it. In reviewing the kit (RMJ 4/96 p 56), Richard Hendrickson used Walthers decal set 131380. Walthers no longer catalogue their own decals. Does anyone know of a source for this set, or another source for an HO scale Army Transportation Corps logo? I think I can cobble up the rest of the lettering from other sets.

your car and I'll bring mine. Mine is a project Jim Hayes started,
cutting down a Red Caboose tank to 4000-gallon size. He passed it on
to me, and I've detailed it, including cut-down Plano running boards
and dome platforms, new dome top equipment, brake gear, etc., and my
own decals for Stauffer Chemical.
