Detailing G Scale rolling stock with Seaboard Rail Name
Posted by ACE Guy on Friday, November 16, 2012 1:53 PM

Hi Everyone,

I am a newbie to the hobby and know next to nothing, maybe even less!  I own an ACE Hardware store in Raleigh, NC located in the old Seaboard Railroad depot complex.  I have started on a suspended G-Scale set that will run through the store.  The store name is Seaboard ACE Hardware and we are expanding on the train theme that we have had for some time.  I have collected 12 cars with a variety of rail line names and a GP9 diesel loco (has the Seaboard System name).  I want to detail my rolling stock with Seaboard, Seaboard Air Line Railway, or Seaboard System lettering and logos.  I am also detailing my rolling stock with names of products we sell like DeWalt, Benjamin Moore, Craftsman, etc, etc.  I have been unsuccessful in finding anything related in the way of decals or transfers with the Seaboard related rail line.  Any advice would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Bob King Confused

I am mainly an HO modeler, but do have a garden railroad that has been around since 1989, and I have purchased decals for G gauge/scale in the past.  Try googling G gauge trains decals (I tried it) and found several sources.  Might give you a starting point.

Thanks Bob,
I'll start my quest. I did a little of that but didn't get in too deep. Perhaps I need to dig further. Love this forum.

Hi,

I can recommend Stan Cedarleaf custom decals since he did an excellent job on mine and is very reseasonable.  Give Stan a try:
