Decals for sw9
Posted by BostonHO on Sunday, September 13, 2020 9:53 PM

Does any one know where I cna find decals for an HO Boston and Maine sw9 switcher in the maroon and gold paint scheme? All I can find are the later minute man blue decals.

Alternatively, would the deals from the Gp7 work?

Not an expert response here...

I looked at prototype photos of B&M switchers. It looks like Microscale makes the decals you need, but you might need to buy a couple of different packs to get the exact striping and detail decals.

If the stripes are the same thickness andthe lettering "BOSTON" "and" "MAINE" the same length should be possible to make it work with a little cutting and fitting.

I tried to sell my two cents worth, but no one would give me a plug nickel for it.

I don't have a leg to stand on.
