I am new to garden trains, and model railroading in general. I am the parts manager for a General Motors dealership. I just recieved a Aristcraft U-25-b engine and cars that GM out out as a Promotional Item.(The GM POWERTRAIN) It has two box cars, a Gondola and caboose. I have also purchased 4 USA trains 2 tier auto carriers. The General Motors factory promotional autos are 1:24 scale and I have over 125 of them. This is going to make an excelent display. My question is. The engine is low on detail except for the GM graphics. I have ordered some microscale decals, sheet 29-1 that are operational details. (fuel, caution, builders plate etc) How do I find out where are the correct placement for them on the engine?
Larryl. I am not into G Scale but do want to welcome you to Trainboard. I know there are members here who can help you. Just a matter of waking them up. Merry Christmas and Happy New year to you and yours.
Larry, Welcome to our family here on the TrainBoard.

Hope this helps.
Larryl, you might point out to the GM publicity people that the U25 was a General Electric product . If the sources above don't get you sorted for details, let me know. I have a reference with color pics of these engines - I could e-mail a couple to you. Happy Christmas.
