Missouri Illinois Decals

[robthathaway43]

Hello everyone,

I am looking for some Ho scale Missouri Illinois decals for coal hoppers. I think I have seen them somewhere but can’t find them now. If anyone knows where I can get some, please tell me.

0ddballs #187-285
For 70 ton offset hopper, like Accurail 75xx kits. Or Stewart hopper kits.
Out of print for several years. Oddballs decals sometimes still show up on e-bay or the resell web groups.

The diagram for lettering looks just like an MP hopper with small buzzsaw, but the “M P” is “M I” and the number is 5926.

If you’re good with scissors, you could probably convert the P into an I.

Most of the M-I cars built new after 1945 had a very plain I, but there was one shop (apparently) that had an I stencil with small serifs at top and bottom, which seemed to do restenciling work on cars that needed repainting or perhaps minor repairs. Photo evidence of this stenciling style is rare, but it does exist.

And of course, no Eagles stencil on any M-I car.
