I'm creating a shortline for my layout that will interchange with the Penn Central. Its the Kings Port & Western. Before attempting custom made decals I bought some Microscale plain white letters and fashioned the KP&W herald on the cabs. It's nice to have a little extra color among my otherwise black loco roster. I've been experimenting with decal paper and my ink jet printer in making decals like this
KP&W
But so far the orange color isn't coming out opaque enough to show well on the slate blue body. I printed up some blue numbers that will work OK if I put them on the orange cabs.
I'll keep working at it because I think the blue and orange letter and number scheme is attractive.
At the moment the white letters and numbers is a provisional scheme. Here the entire current roster of the KP&W pulls a string of hoppers while an RDC commuter heads out on the high line.
