DTTX with Red TTX

I'm looking for conformation (photo's) of DTTX 48' hustky stacks that had the new red TTX logo installed.  I've seen a number of models decorated in this scheme but only one photo of one.
Thanks

Joe

Painters don't install things.  I install things, then painters paint them.

Okay, sorry that's not helpful.   I  would help but that logo is too new for me, I drew the line at that and the BNSF swoosh.  :D

They were stickers so technically they were installed.   LOL    but I get your point :)

To get really pedantic, stickers are applied not installed.  :trollface: :P ;)

And this is coming from a Pollack for whom English is a 2nd language.

going back to Joe's question, I'm not sure if they exist... I will do some digging...

I submit that they are affixed. ;)

Yes that was one of two 56xxx series cars I was able to find with the "forward thinking logo" the other one is this partial repaint...

I'm glad I raised the issue and we got this settled.

Not quite!   :D  I don't like to be corrected when I'm correct in the first place.  :trollface:

Not quite.  Those logos are most likely self-adhesive vinyl stickers- not decals.  Quoting https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Decal :
A peel-and-stick decal is actually not a decal as described above, but a vinyl sticker with adhesive backing, that can be transferred by peeling off its base. The sign industry calls these peel-and-stick vinyl stickers vinyl-cut-decals.

To  me the name decal is always associated with either waterslide or heat-applied films.  Films with pressure-sensitive adhesive are what is considered stickers.

Back to the regularly scheduled thread.  :D

Interesting... I always thought that being cut out rather then printed and being in three layers with a backing sheet/vinyl/protective paper layer made it a decal rather then a sticker...

but since both words seem to be used interchangeably we are splitting hairs :) was just being snarky since we had a chain of correcting each other going... :)
