Decals finished; I found a MI for under the buzz saw. To get the white stripes on the noses correctly I cut as close to the white decal as possible so they’d slide under the hand grabs. Also found an old sheet of builders plates and added one on each side. The MI ownership letters from a freight car ‘load lmt’ The M was easy. The I had had to make from an L by cutting off the bottom. Found some numbers for the small number boards in a RI boxcar set.
