Modelling Brazilian railroads in N scale
« on: July 17, 2019, 07:04:28 PM »

I've been following a few guys on Instagram that post pics and really like the locos and grain hoppers from Brazil and South America. Was thinking it would be a cool project to paint/decal some locos and cars to run at train shows.

I've searched and can't find any decals that would allow me to do this, so coming here to see if anyone has suggestions short of doing custom made decals. Any help is appreciated.

Would the import payment be in (or a) Brazillion dollars? ;)

I couldn't find anything,

There is a HO modeler who builds them.  His models were on display at the 2019 BAPM.  Harry Wong photographed them so you might see them in RMC.

I like this ex SP unit. Trucks look original. https://hiveminer.com/Tags/brazil,emd   

Looking at some of the units, you could try cobbling together something from Highball's lease units decals.
