IC 40' box car decal
|
frtcar <staffan.ehnbom@...>
Where can I find lettering for an HO 40' IC box car like the 18629 in the photo on p. 22 of the RP Cyc 4? The Champ set no. HB-150 seems a bit oversized judging by the Champ Lettering Plan Book. Thanks in advance,
Staffan Ehnbom

Steffan,
           Check the messages section of the group site. IIRC, a list member was advertising IC decals within the past 2 weeks.

short end of the stick decal-wise, even while Dan Kohlberg has produced a boatload of beautiful IC/ICG decals for the post-STMFC era. Even CDS, and Mark Vaughan, ignored the IC. I sent a copy of a beautiful photo of IC 20223 (stenciled for automobile engine loading and a "return empty to" stencil) to Intermountain in the hope they would produce a model of the IC "1940" AAR box cars but no luck there either. I agree with you about the shortcomings of Champ HB-150 but that's just about all there is... Tim O'Connor

Maybe Jerry Glow would be interested? He does some great looking accurate sets.

In many cases-- not sure if during this list's era-- the border around the routing or assignment instructions was a dashed line. I modeled this (once) using the separator stripe Champ sometimes used between a box car set's 40' and 50' data sections.

Yes I have seen that in one of the pictures I'm working from. Thanks for pointing it out.

Could this set be used for pre-"mainline" slogan cars also?

If you look at the pics on the info sheet for MK10 mini-kit on Jim Hayes' excellent "unofficial" Sunshine site, you'll see one with and one without and a date (1949 IIRC) when they started using it.

Hi Jerry,

Thanks for doing this--you're going to be the new Champ. The set looks really great. Would it be possible/practical to add a small variety of different shop dates as well? I model 1950 and really hate having to piece together earlier shop dates. Thanks for considering! John John Golden Bloomington, IN

Could this set be used for Hi Paul, "Mostly". Jerry will have to reduce the size of the reporting marks to match the number's size, and add lines above and below. At that point the decal set will be good for the 1930s through the 1960s. (adding and/or deleting specific items as necessary). Regards, Ray Breyer Elgin, IL

I second John's motion. I, too, model 1950.

reweigh stencil sets cover those dates nicely -- HOWEVER it appears even Sunshine did not include the IC in any of the sets I have, E.51 through E.59! Sheesh what have people got against the IC? :-) Now if it were only possible to find reweigh dates for 1955 to 1965! Tim O'Connor

Before WW II it was common to use 7-inch characters for both initials and car numbers, but after the war (I don't have the date handy) the AAR recommended 9-inch initials with the 7-inch numbers, and many roads complied. If someone can supply the date easily, that might be useful for all of us to know.
