Reach out to Travis Rowe on FB.  He was half of Track29 and has offered some of the same prints.  He might have the Empire files.

Robert Nunes (robernune19) did an excellent set of accurate 3D printed cars for the Empire State Express and sold them on eBay. I’m working on my set, slowly. I only needed the cars that split into Canada so I did not buy all of his cars.

Check him out.

Best,

Not home right now, but I found a photo of the set as I received it.



Hard to see, but all of the corrugations and interior details look great.

Best regards,
Michael

FYI, I have persuaded Dick from Fine N scale to do one more limited run of a few Hudson shells.

See my post here

If you want one act now.

Kind regards,
Michael

     Hello All,
          I'm in the early planning stages of putting together a NYC Empire State Express. Equipment is not a problem, my question is which decals I need. I suspect its the Microscale 60-1352 or 60-1353, or perhaps even both? The Microscale website pictures of the decals set is so poor I cannot make them out. Any help would be appreciated.

Circus City makes decals:

https://circusdecals.ecwid.com/products/nyc-empire-state-express-passenger-cars-n-scale-decals

CDS made dry transfers - I used them on a couple of cars - but they're harder to work with than decals.


I ended up making some decals of my own (this was before Circus City came out with theirs) on my laser printer.  Used the "Grand Central" font from RailFonts
