Changing Tank Car Numbers
Posted by wholeman on Tuesday, May 11, 2010 12:31 PM

 I have several modern era, HO scale tank cars that have the same numbers.  I must be typing the wrong words or something, but I am having a difficult time finding the right decals.

The ones I am looking for are in UTLX and they are yellow.

Any suggestion?

Thanks for the replies in advance.

 Maxman, those are close, but no cigar.  I should have provided a link to a pic of what I needed.

Here is what I really needed.

I believe the lettering is called stenciled or something like that.  I am going to look some more.

Thank you.

 The top one in Maxman's link is the stencil-style UTLX. Even the enlarged picture isn't all that large so it's hard to see, but it is that type of lettering.
