O Scale Passenger Car Decal Question

[NW Modeling List]

Barry,
 
I don't know the exact details but I am researching them right now  myself.
 
I do know they were used in some type of pool service with Union Pacific  
and other railroads.
 
I remember seeing a dome and another car in Roanoke in the late  60's.
 
The car names are Western Lake, National Unity, Western View, Western  
Sunset, National Homes, Western Scene, and National Colors.
 
The car numbers are 202, 203, 1427, 1428, 1419, 1430, 1612, 1613, 1834,  
1835, 1836 and 1837.
 
I have attached a photo of dome 1613. The cars had 2.5 inch red stripes on  
the top and 5 inch stripes along the bottom.
 
Thanks,
 
Richard D. Shell

Thanks for your honest input. I didn't know Sam had done the set in O.  
Sam, if you are listening... Do you still have some? I may have a customer for  
you!
 
I think I will hold off on that set for a while.
 
On another note, I am releasing our newest set, HO134, N134 and O134 in  
about 6 weeks. This set is for the N&W cars that were painted in Union  
Pacific colors. HO Scale proof is attached.
 
Thanks,

Richard:
I find that this is not the greatest sight to do a  product survey. There 
always seem to be little support for anything unless  it's free and O scalars 
are limited here.
I believe you need to look at  what N&W products are out there for the O 
scale decals. Little if any!  Therefore I would not produce something
that there is no product to use  on. I have some of Sam Putneys O scale 
passenger car decals and have only  used them once on an O Scale 
American Models passenger car about 20  years ago.
Just an observation.   Stephen Rineair


I  recently introduced our HO and N Scale N&W Passenger Car decal set  
and they have sold very well. My question is, is there a market for  
these in O Scale? I have gotten one request so far to make them in O.  
Just curious if the O Modelers would like to see this set produced. The  
art is complete already and they could be available in as little as six  
weeks. I would estimate the cost to be around $8.99 per set and they  
would do one car.

Thanks,

Richard D. Shell
