I'm looking for HO decals for Northern Pacific heavyweight passenger cars. I've looked at the websites for the major suppliers and NP historical society. No luck. Anyone suggest a source?
I went and pawed around in my decals drawer -- thought I had some extras of these but I don't. The Microscale website doesn't currently list the heavyweight decals, that I could see, but they have the stripes:https://www.microscale.com/Merchant2/merchant.mvc?Session_ID=f1ba596a194ccd37dcb5e5109acdffe3&Screen=PROD&Store_Code=MD&Product_Code=87-787&Category_Code=NP
They also have the original (preLoewy) two-tone green passenger decals for the period 1946 -1953.

But neither of these seems like exactly what you want. I didn't search for Champ Decals, but they may have what you need.
I see boxes of old decals at swap meets all the time. I'm attending a big one this Saturday. If I find HO heavyweight NP decals and they're stupid cheap maybe I'll pick some up and we can talk about getting them to you. No charge, since that's verboten on this website. But no promises. I'll also be trying to survive the crush of hundreds of model railroaders who've been cooped up all winter, while also trying to find certain items on my wish list. I'm sharpening my elbows as we speak.

Returning to model railroading after 40 years and taking unconscionable liberties with the SP&S, Northern Pacific and Great Northern roads in the '40s and '50s.
Thanks for your offer Matt. If you run across the NP decals I'd appreciate a tip. I did find one set on Ebay so maybe can get the project off the ground.

Mark. No luck at the train show. I may have missed them, there was so much there, but I did keep an eye out and did not run into any. Sorry. Good luck.
