Subject: 1920-1940 era BREX decals
Dear Sirs,
I'm planning to backdate Accurail's HO-scale BREX wood reefer
(75000-series)to approximate its appearance circa 1939. It should be a
challenging project what with changing the roof, ends, adding hatch
platforms and "double-winged" door hinges, etc. A quick review of your
comprehensive offering of decal sets did not reveal a set for this time
period. I am writing to see if anyone knows of a commercial decal set that
I might purchase. If not, I could cobble most of the lettering from a FGEX
or WFEX decal set, but would still need the Burlington Route herald. If I
have to go this route, could you recommend a decal set that had a BR herald
with identical or similar dimensions to that used on the wood BREX reefers?
Thanks in advance for any help you may give.
One last question: Has anyone from your society attempted to convert the
Intermountain R-40-10 into one of the early BREX steel reefers? I'm
interested to know how they managed to form the X-shaped bulges on the
"dreadnaught" ends. Thanks again for your time and assistance.
Sincerely,
Buddy Hill
