Just off the reefer docks (manditory freight car content) is this IGA
produce truck decal set. I originally sized it for a MiniMetals IH R190 but the customer wanted for a late 30's era Ford COE. See: http://home.comcast.net/~jerryglow/samples/IGA_truck.jpg -- Jerry Glow The Villages FL http://home.comcast.net/~jerryglow/decals.html |

Anyone know of any good online photos of Piggly-Wiggly trucks from the 1950's? P-W was prominent in San Antonio including warehouses served by the SP...

You can go to: http://www.iga.com/locator.aspx
and find the current location of IGA stores. You can scan by state, zip code or other options. This won't tell you if there were stores there in, say, 1930, but if they are there now, there's a reasonable chance they were there years ago. Or try Google for 'IGA stores' and you'll get more searchable information than you'll ever be able to study.

by the SP... Tim O'Connor Jerry/Tim, I would love to have decals for Piggly Wiggly also. My uncle was an executive for them in San Antonio back in the 50's and 60's. My 1940 layout could use some P-W decals. |

The owner of the Piggly-Wiggly chain lived 2 houses down from us on the street behind our house - he passed away in about 2003. He was a lifelong "O" scaler with a large layout in a building behind his house. Sadly, his house and outbuilding are gone now. When P-W was a viable business, he would be approached by salesmen from the various food companies. He gave the salesmen for some of his largest accounts an "O" scale brass Lobaugh reefer for them to paint in their slogans and return to him to run on the layout. I recall one painted with running animals from Libby. Also one from Del Monte. I would also like some decal artwork for P-W in "O" scale. A.T.

Since we're going OT, note this one from definitely-not-the-SE-of-USA Stockton, CA:
http://www.groceteria.com/place/california/stockton/stocktons-new-piggly-wiggly-1932/ And, I recall (in a perhaps drug-addled haze) a Piggly Wiggly on the west side of "lower" Shattuck in Berkeley, CA. Perhaps Mr. Thompson can confirm (or deny). Ed Edward Sutorik |

The fellow who lived behind us was the owner of the local area Piggly Wiggly franchises (San Antonio, Texas area). They closed in the early 1960's. Just wanted to clarify that. It bought him a lot of "O" scale models, including steam era freight cars! A.T. Kott |
