Found this old mth car load thought i have some fun with this today loading up the new cars

[stebbycentral]

Here are a couple of AF cars I have been working on.  All of my cars now have new wheelsets from S-Helper, new knuckle couplers from Marty's Trains, and new brakewheels from Grandtline.  But these two cars also needed a repaint and re-decal.

The real story here is that after waiting forever for decals I had ordered from a certain unamed vendor, I cancled said order and went out and purchased some decal paper and fixative.  The Gulf tank car has a new logo, and the decals on the Wilson's refer are completely home-made.  I have done home-made decals before, but in the past I have mainly limited myself to lettering.  The insignia came out pretty well, I think.

This is the source image for the Wilson's car:

LOL about the "certain unnamed vendor", gee, who could it be?

Anyhow, very nice work!

If you get a chance, check my recent thread on American Flyer decals.  I could use some advice.

Hmmmm, what's this ? Oh yeah, that's a fresh batch of popcorn headin' east to some little backwater town in N.C.

 

Enjoy the day and be extra special to the lady of your life, not only today but everyday.
