I bought one of these and have assembled it. I asked Jim Gooden,
who has done a clinic on Burlington Truck Lines and is working on
a Bulletin article about the truck lines, about the kit and
decals.
He wrote this back to me:
"I was happy that Sylvan came out with the mid 40’s-50’s BTL decals. It filled a void in the market. I had a model project in mind from a photo of an early 40’ BTL trailers using those graphics. I don’t think this scheme lasted long on the 40’ trailers before they started using the more common Burlington used on the new locomotives and freight cars of the time.
There are two voids in BTL HO decal
graphics that I'm hoping to get filled at some point. The original
1930’s graphics have a different, more rounded font that I’m not
familiar with. It’s also difficult to pinpoint the actual color of
the graphics. I believe that it’s most likely gold however it
could be silver. The other void is a couple 1960’s variation's and
the Burlington Truck Lines Herald."
I know Jim follows the list. So he
can probably add more information.

I bought a
26 ft. Sylvan kit at Naperville 2024, and it came with red
letter decals for an unpainted stainless steel trailer. The
trailer decals in the BRHS Company Store are from Micro
Scale, and they also have red lettering. I think I remember
that BRHS offered a decal set for the red painted trailers,
but I don’t see them in the company store. Did they sell
out, or am I imagining things?
