suggestions? <<

I remember using Floquil reefer orange on a model, and seeing the real thing 
two blocks away in the '50s . . . it looked OK to me then.

I covered the black lettering for MOW orange cars in the new Microscale set for 
CB&Q orange way cars (87-1197), which should cover most applications you need 
there -

>> Second, I am looking for a source for the MOW stencil decals that 
would have been used to letter Q tank cars in fuel service and Q 
covered hoppers in sand service. Any suggestions? <<


For right this moment, no . . . but in the next couple of months, Microscale 
should be releasing the mineral red waycar set, which provides white lettering 
for red MOW (and some black) equipment.
