RPO's without side detail request.

Howdy,

A few weeks ago someone asked me for some RPO Blanks to do some scratch building.  I cannot find the email anywhere, so if you asked me, I have them and contact me again so I can send these out to you.


Cheers

Joe -

It wasn't me, however can you clarify what side detail is omitted?  I may be interested as well.

Joe,
 That would be me. I will resend the e-mail....

Correction, check your PM's. It should be in your Inbox here at the Railwire if you didn't delete it.

Joe,
 A hearty public thank you. The shells arrived Saturday. It will be interesting working with a blank canvas.

Can you PM me a photo of the shell or tell me what a shell, sans detail is?

They kind of surprised me, they are devoid of any detail. Litterally a flat piece of styrene.

I think I am going to draw a side up in the computer and let the vinyl cutter do the work for me by cutting out an overlay out of some .005 styrene.

The shell itself is 61' from end to end but I believe these are 65' from coupler face to face. They are just standard MTL RPO's with a blanked out side used for one of the collector sets. They are a little more blanked than I expected but it will make a good starting point. That way I am not stuck adjusting to make windows fit where others already are.

Tony,

Are both sides blank, or just one?

They are for all the MTL specialty sets where the mural is printed on the entire side of the car.
