I decorated an AM boxcar in the NC&StL yellow stripe scheme about 10 years ago. I used HO decals from several freight car sets. It was not perfect but I was really proud to have that car. But that did not keep me from being pleased and excited when the NASG produced those cars for the 2012 convention. I now have six more NC&StL boxcars, four with stripes and two without. The boxcar I decorated will probably get repainted and decorated in some other scheme if I ever get around to it. - Earl Henry In a message dated 7/26/2013 3:45:36 P.M.

Hi Andy -- Ain’t that the truth! But it’s the doing the project yourself that’s the fun, right? Have fun! Bill Winans --------------------------- .... Wait a minute, I forgot Murphy's 13th Law of model railroading. When you devote a lot of effort to a pet project (like finally getting an S scale Airslide) and finally finish it in a unique scheme, within a year, a commercial RTR version of it will come out making what you did redundant and no longer unique. And most importantly, make you wish you had used that precious time and money that you devoted to said project on something else more unappealing to the masses, like a steel Russel type winged snowplow. cheers, Andy Malette
