I talked to Hubert Mask yesterday and they will start working on the new decals shortly. He hasn’t done steam locomotive decals before and was concerned about demand. I told Hubert I was getting at least two requests a month for MP steam decals. I also sent him the 1929 M-I lettering diagram so the new set will include the Missouri-Illinois which has never been done. With the M-I book pending release I can see a demand for M-I decals.
The original California Locomotive Works decals for the MP used a light gray to replicate the aluminum used by the MP.
