Does anyone know of a source of decals for the side number boards on Stewart FT diesels?

I would try Microscale decals, the seem to have everything.

Being old is when you didn't loose it, it's that you just can't remember where you put it.

I've used the Woodland Scenics dry transfer decal numbers; gothic for the front number boards, roman for the sides (which is how Santa Fe did their locos). You can get number-only sheets that have the numbers in at least 4 different sizes.

If you do use the dry transfer decals, be sure to coat them with a clear flat or glossy paint -- I didn't at first, and learned the hard way that they rub off kinda easy if you handle them the wrong way. [V]
