    Jeff, this has really turned into some kind of treasure hunt. What a great find!

    They basically take a half a sheet to print the "set". You will have to get the yellow side sill stripe from somewhere else and overlay the black stripes provided over the yellow one. Before I had my Alps printers I was paying in the neighborhood of $25 for a 1/2 sheet and that included shipping. You can email me at jagowers2000@gmail.com. Thanks.

    I've had one person contact me on decals for this project. Based on some responses here it seemed others were interested?

    Oh, I am interested, yes. On that set and the UP American flag set. I must have overlooked the final announcement. I will message you now.

    Jeff, was that from me? I sent an email, but never heard back. I have issues with my service sometimes!

    I am definitely interested. I just sent you an email to the address you put in post #65. I must have missed that post earlier. Sorry.

    So, for the Amfleet car. Is this an amfleet coach car? Is the Bachmann Amfleet coach pretty close (except, of course, for the paint/decals)?

    The Bachman Amfleet coach is the exact car you need for this project...

    Great! Thank you! I will seek one out.

    I was thinking of using a Walthers baggage car for the other unless you have a better recommendation. I am not going to worry about the RPO and the car that looks like a business car until I get the yellow ones done.

    Guys,

    I finished the Walthers baggage car kitbash project and got it painted yellow:

    The Amfleet in the picture is one of the older Bachman cars that I used as a test for the yellow paint (Testors Daytona Yellow... and a perfect fit to the Kobo P42). I have a newer Bachman Amfleet coach on its way to the house as the actual model I will use for the project. Then I'll get Jeff's awesome decals put on and it should be pretty sweet! I'd love to see other's progress on this!

    I am still needing to order the decals. I have had some unexpected expenses come up in this monthly budget cycle, but hopefully in about a week and a half...
