Looking for N scale C&O transition era decals

Good morning All,

I'm looking for transition era decals for C&O boxcars with the "for progress" logo, but not having much luck. Would the Microscale C&O hopper set work?

Thanks!

You could use the "For Progress" logos from the hopper decal set on box cars.  Some of them are split in order to go around hopper ribs so I'm not sure how those would look if you didn't weather the car afterwards.

CDS Transfers offer a few options if you’re ok with dry transfers rather than water slide decals. I’ve been using some of their transfers recently and I’m pleased with how they’re coming out.
I it also possible to put the dry transfer on clear decals film if you don’t want to apply it directly to the model. This does run the risk of building up a thicker than ideal layer of lettering, I don’t know if that would bother you or not.
