Microscale MBTA N-scale Decals

[ATCEagle]

I'm looking for Microscale MBTA Decals. Does anyone know where I may find some or if anyone has some lying around? The product number is 460-60751. Thanks for the help!

I don't know where you can find any.
I was wondering what you are using for equipment? The bilevels in particular? GP40X?

The Kawasaki cars are available from Island Model works. They are.... rough, and need hours of work.

The firm also produces Comet cars.

F40PH engines are available from Life-Like and Kato, though you need to remove the dynamic brakes. An F40PH-2C can be kitbashed from several Life-Like shells.

The GP40-thingy is not really kit-bash friendly becasue little if any of the origonal sheetmetal was reused during the rebuilding process.

Thanks Daniel,
I guess I'll need to leave it as a dream while watching them pass my window on the PVD just south of Forest Hills.

This might be a dumb question. Did you contact Microscale?

There's always Ebay! ;-)

If searching fails to turn anything up, you could try printing your own. The artwork (need a good graphics program to open and resize) is available here

That is a COOL website!

Thanks for all the feedback! I've contacted Microscale and they have discontinued the decal set. However they do make a HO decal set. They also make a MBTA purple film that you can cut out on your own. I'm currently using 4- Con-cor basic 85' Smoothside Coaches for my MBTA layout. I was able to work with a local hobby shop and mix together two acrylic paints to make a pretty good MBTA purple match up. As for the double deckers, I did check out the ones at Island Models and decided against them. This is my first time painting and customizing my own train so we'll see how it goes. But it anyone does stumble across some decals don't hesitate to contact me! Thanks.

The Freight Yard does custom painting in MBTA. I had an Kato F40PH painted in "lightning scheme", and looks great. I may have a set of MBTA decals, I'll look and let you know.
