As far as i know these were never made in O scale... i may be wrong, but i think microscale only did DM boxcars and herald king only did HO (i think). I could get you O scale decals made though. I don't want to intimidate you with price but it generally costs art time plus print. When i get my custo...

Hello everyone... i got the sets in over the weekend as planned and they look great. support so far for this project has been outstanding...thank you everybody for your e-mails.

Where was Detroit, Bay City and western located? I have heard of this before but couldnt find details... the person telling me said it ran along lapeer road but was confused since the PO&N and the paint creek (michigan central/ conrail) both touched lapeer rd at one point... wasnt sure if their was ...

Do you have any pictures of the unit you are speaking of?

Chris

seems like you got it covered! what do you even need?

what type of power were they running? RS1's or such? was that still in the Wabash transition?

Thank you again for the kind words! maybe i'll be able to do something you do model in the future.

Hey everybody... As discussed last month i am doing a 2009 project hoping to reproduce decals from all the larger shortlines in michigan at a rate of 1-2 roads per month. The first shortline i have chosen to do is the Central Michigan. I will have the decals available to do units 8800-8804. I am pla...

For those not happy with this go-around of Athearns TSBY i will be doing a tribute to the old TSBY with Black/Yellow units in early 2009. Since Athearn doesn't make correct nose headlights i will also be adding those on. While i'm in the design process, i could probably get a more accurate blue deca...

There are alot of good ones out there. However, if you have one in particular you want i would be more than happy to paint one for you. I have an example of an NS on my web page www.oaklandcountycustoms.com

what is a paper railroad?

I live near the former PO&N line and have been trying to find the origins of the name "Polly Anne." Was that the way the line was referred to when it still was operating or is that a new term now that it is a trail? If anyone knows the details i'd love to hear it. Also, what year were the tracks act...

I am always willing to sell just the decals. Due to cost i will only be making select models. For LSRC i will only be making decals for the century series as well as MLW 420's...those decals can be combined with microscale CN stripes to make the GP40's and SD40. I will be making the nose stripes and...

Decals should be no problem. Do you have other pictures of this unit so i can see the logo on the cab better?

Chris

Do they still have the fleet of GP40's and GP38M's or are those gone too?

Chris

Are these locomotives completely off the roster now?
975 - Lake Huron
976 - West Branch
1195 - East Tawas
3563 - Lake Superior
3571 - For the Gipper 2004

Do you know the current roster?

Thanks for your help so far.

Chris

Hey everyone... i don't live near the LSRC or SBS and haven't been able to find any good overhead pictures of the GP/SD units. Do these units have black anti-glare paint on the tops of the short noses? Also, does anyone have a list or know the "city of's" on each unit? thanks everybody.

Chris

All depends on how they put it on. I'm running into new locomotives that the paint (or letters and numbers) will not come off with techniques (pine-sol) that used to work great. Not quite sure how they are applying them now. If its a decal, microscale products or pine-sol will work fine.
