Hi, soryy that I havent been on for awhile. Spring & summer month I build and race R/C boats, and winter build them and play with trains.  Ok I have a bowser T-1 Duplex that I'd built last year and needs decials for it and wanted to do some detials to it.

Your best bet is Microscale.  I think the T1 would have been lettered in the "Dulux" colours rather than gold.

 

Based on the website, here's the set you'd probably need:

Stock# 87-1166

 

If you're modelling pre-1948, then it probably would have had the gold lettering:

Stock# 87-66

 

as for the details -- call or email bowser.  they might have a superdetail kit laying around for the loco (longshot, since they've discontinued the loco kits Thumbs DownSad).  If they don't have a full kit, you can probably still get the parts separately (as they also own the cal-scale, and carey detail parts lines).

Are you looking for decals or details?

Bowser makes a very good quality set of decals that comes stock with the T-1. Is your's missing its decals?

It appears that there's no super-detail kit available for the T-1, but I think all the parts are available separate. Bowser has instructions for the most recent version of the T-1 on their website, and pages 11 and 12 show all the detail parts, their part numbers, and where they go.

I found "PRR Brunswick Green" on the Polly-Scale shelves at the LHS...

depending on where you go, it'll be either labelled as such, or possibly  "British Racing Green", maybe even "Dark Green Locomotive Enamel"

I don't think that'll work... Brunswick Green was a more "chameleon" colour. If you look at it one way it's an extremely deep green, but from another angle it looks like "plain black".

Champ made a set especially for T-1's, but they closed on 9/30/10 so you cannot probably get a set unless somebody wants to part with theirs, I know I don't/
