Model Train Decals

Bird-watchers aren't the only people with life-lists. Anyone who has ever lived close to train tracks has a mental list of all the kinds of freight cars he or she has ever seen, from the frequently-run Santa Fe, Milwaukee and B & O to the ephemera of the C B & Q. Freight cars serve as natural moving billboards, and the advertising they provided helped rail companies grow.

One of the best ways to make your own freight cars and engines worth watching is to provide the kind of road-line identification they have always carried. Especially if you begin building your own cars, model manufacturers can provide you with a great variety of historically-accurate decals to customize your cars. In addition, companies specializing in the decals of single roads can be found online. If the C B & Q's already on your life-list, have a look at Yakima Valley Trolley...bet that's a new one!You'll get to know companies and individuals who love trains as much as you do through the world of decals.
