BN Coal Hopper Decal Set
« on: August 10, 2020, 02:49:30 PM »

My dad passed away in 2018 and I received a small number of around 40 Atlas 90-ton hoppers decorated for BN,MKT and some CSX.
Now I want to reletter some of them for BN but I have no idea which Microscale Set I should take?
Is there any other manufacturer making decals for these cars?

Before you strip and repaint, BN did have two groups of ex-MKT 100T triple hoppers:

522400-522699 - Greenville, 17 rib
523000-523399 - Bethlehem, 13 rib (better match for Atlas model)
