Plano Model Products sell etched-metal Apex running boards and dome platforms for the Red Caboose car: their part #306. Usual disclaimer: no business relationship, just a happy customer.The Plano parts are nice, indeed. Tell you what, Al--you bring 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.

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.

I wish there were such a decal set. Red Caboose actually produced this model lettered USAX, but they chose a number series for a GATC built car (catalog # RC-3032-x) Tim O'Connor I'm doing the 103W as a USAX car, and am about ready to letter it.
