Looks great! A scary thought - if NYC had really had TrainMasters, they would have run them (very) long hood forward!

Surprise

I used Microscale O scale 48-41NYC Diesels FA&FB unit decals and adapted them to the Trainmaster body

I have one, but need decals.  anyone know of a source.

Decals are getting tough but here's some sources that might help.

https://www.lbrenterprisesllc.com/  He specializes in restoration decals.

https://protocraft.com/    Mostly boxcar and rolling stock decals but they'll work if you want to fudge things a bit.

There's this source for dry transfer lettering for pre-and-post war Lionels, American Flyer and Ives trains:

J&A Hobbies

4493 Marsh Road Waynesboro PA 17268  He doesn't have a website but his e-mail is warnick@pa.net   E-mail or write for the complete list. 

And if you've got a printer you can always "roll your own" with decal stock.
