Reply To: Tichy Train MoPac decals

[David Boeschen]

Now there are a few more MP decals on the Tichy website. The stock car and the early ACF covered hopper decal sets are available, as well as one for an early composite gon (Intermountain kit) in the 50’s DeSoto lettering. There is also a set for the LNE PS-2 covered hoppers that the MP bought to go with their homebuilt ones. There is also a set for a double-sheathed boxcar noted as ‘built 1913’ but the number is in the series of 500 USRA boxcars. Specifically, this is the car number in an early (as-built?) shot and then shot again by Charlie Winters thirty years later in Wichita.

Diagrams for this boxcar should be shown in the Society publication ‘Freight Car Diagrams 1900-1951’ but I don’t have it with me.

All these decals have the Desoto lettering styles accurately captured.
