This board is the place where questions and information specific to MODELING the Reading Company, its equipment and operations can be shared - questions like "What was the window arrangement of AF Tower in Alburtis?" and "What color paint do YOU use to paint the Reading's cream-and-brown buildings?" We also want to hear about YOUR Reading modeling projects!

I added another 40ft banner box car to my fleet.Again I used SCII RDG green and Floquil railbox yellow for the grabs and ladder rungs.The decals are from the RDG Modeler.I still need to apply some weathering to complete the unit.

NOTE;Microscale has just released new RDG decals(HO & N)40 & 50 ft box cars.Tom,can we expect any new decals? Wasen't there a poll taken on the old site? What were the results?

Those SOBs! I have artwork in process for the large RDG scheme, the boxcar red "speed lettering" and 50' banners. I guess I'll have to order a set to see what they've done in terms of classes, etc. Maybe the approach is to create a supplemental set.

Well THIS is certainly a disappointing development. I suppose my approach will be to create a more cost-effective, more detailed set. Looks like you can only do a couple individual classes for each scheme, from what I can see on the website. As anyone who uses my decals knows, I provide data to accurately letter as many classes as possible.

tomjacobs OFFLINE Superintendent Posts: 177 Thank you received: 37	I ordered a set of the new Microscale decals today - when they arrive I'll provide review/commentary. Quite frankly, I've been so busy working on the website migration that I haven't had much time to work on decals. I'm a little curious as to where they got their data.
