Looking forward to the "transfer" caboose (it was often used on regular freights, especially branches). Been feeling nostalgic, in a small way, for the Penn Central lately. Also looking forward to the earlier NYC bay windows. Hope we can find decals for those.

Micro-Scale released NYC/PC decals for the bay windows last year.  CR schemes can be patched together from existing Micro-Scale decals.

But not for the early oxide red scheme. Particularly the white oval.

CDS used to have dry transfers for the oxide red scheme, don't know if they still do since they are phasing out.

Thanks, in fact I have a few, for NYC USRA boxcars kitbashed from MT and Intermountain cars. Might have to divert a couple of transfer sets to cabooses.

Thank you Brian. That's where I got my boxcar sets last year. The producer is in a constant state of going to retire. Another of the old timers who does it for the love of the hobby, so he may keep it up until he dies.  I'll check and see if he's still at it. Wish I had the money to buy the line and keep it going. A lot of neat stuff there.
