SW-1500 Safety Stripes, Help!
Posted by Anonymous on Sunday, April 22, 2001 3:53 PM
I am modeling an Atheran UP SW-1500 switcher. I am modeling from photos in Don Strack's "Switchers & Slugs". I had a sheet of safety stripe decals which were old and fell apart and just did not work. I have looked in Walher's book to see if Microscale has this type of stripes. My problem is the book dose not go in to detail about the stripes they sell, I don't want to just buy any and then it is not the correct type. Which decals from Microscale or Walhers are the type used on the SW-1500? Any info is helpfull.

Thanks,

Brian

Brian; I'm surprised no one has offered to help! But, then, again, any help, might be considered as advertising! I'll give it a whirl! Microscale #87-962 (C&NW) Hood Units and Switchers-Early 1948-60; #87-963 (C&NW) Hood Units & Switchers-Early-Stripes 1948-60; If you do not like those, try MC-4122 Trailer Safety Stripes!! Now, if these #'s don't get to you, contact Microscale at http://www,microscale.com
or e-mail microscale@aol.com
I can't help you with anyone else. I only use Microscale.
