Re: WTB: Tennessee Central Boxcar Decals
Unfortunately all I found on the K4 Ebay listing were for hoppers and gondolas. No boxcars.
And ProtoCraft while it has an extensive line of 1:48 have only a few HO scale and none for TC Boxcars.

Stan Rydarowicz offered a TC box car with decals. Whoever ended up with Stan's materials after he died might have a supply of the decals, but I don't know who that might be. I suspect there is someone

I recently had to flatten a few parts for a resin boxcar kit. I've posted an outline of the process on my blog.

Re: WTB: Tennessee Central Boxcar Decals
Beware of the Protocraft decals as these are for a refurbished/rebuilt version with steel running boards and a diagonal panel roof.

D&RGW 65500 SS 1.5 door car
That one is a Cambre radial- different panel count. The roof on the D&RGW box appears to be a Murphy radial; I'd recommend cutting off and shortening the roof of the MDC 50' s/s auto box.
