Decals for scale locations and light weights just need the B&O
|
I've got all the major roads on the spreadsheet and see that the B&O was missing. If someone can furnish the top 5 or 6 scales for the B&O I’ll add these and start scanning photos for Hubert’s reference.
I know the Mopac’s light weight and month and year were 3 inches tall - were there any exceptions (taller lettering) to this? Charlie -- Charlie Duckworth Omaha, Ne.

Charlie, The following list was compiled when we had this discussion a number of years ago on the old group, which IIRC was orchestrated by Richard Hendrickson. You will need to consult B&O fans for the top picks. Why I recorded this list is beyond me at this point, but it is scribbled into my ORER. I think I was most interested in those roads that connected with the WP. I see that I have a few more odd roads. It might take some time tomorrow, but I can supply them all if you wish. BA--Brooke Ave Yd, Rochester NY BW-Brunswich, MD CE-Chillicothe, OH CU-Cumberland, MD DU-Dubois, PA ES-East Salamanca, NY GA-Garrett, IN GW-Glenwood Yard, Pittsburgh IV-Ivorydale, OH KY-Keyser, WV LF-LaFayette Car Works LN-BR&P Shops, Lincoln Park, NY LP-Locust Point, MD MC-Mount Clare, MD MD-Moofield, Yard, Indianapolis NE-Newark, OH PV-Painesville, OH WA-Washington, OH WI-Willard, OH HAG-Hagerstown, MD BY-Barr Yard, Chicago CHI-Chicago CV-Connesville, MD GRF-Grafton, (OH?) Are the old messages archived somewhere? This was quite a long thread. I just noticed that I have two for the GN: STC-St. Cloud, MN SUP-Superior, (MN?) Yours Aye, Garth Groff 🦆

I have all the major railroads covered. So I’m good. I just want to ensure the light weigh, location and date were three inches high on all roads. -- Charlie Duckworth Omaha, Ne.

Charlie,
Reweigh data applied by the Monon was the same size as on newly painted cars, 3 inches.
Background colors could be either black or brown depending on a number of things at any given time.

Charlie:
I am not aware of any exceptions to the 3" height as long as you are talking about the 1927+ ARA standard (which was when the LD LMT stencil was added). Prior, there was more variation in how various roads handled the light weight stenciling (includng 4" lettering), but I assume that is not an objective of this decal project. -- Dave Parker Swall Meadows, CA
