Interstate

I am new to the forum. I am trying to locate coal cars with the "Interstate" naming. I know this is like trying to find a needle in the haystack but they were once produced in HO scale.
Also, does anyone know of a source that would produce labels that I could put on cars and 2-8-0 steam engines ( HO Scale).

Interstate and decals
You can probably make your own if you can find color photos and get a kit the one sold by Micro-Mark. With modern word processing software and decal paper it isn't all that difficult.

Thanks ! All photos are in
Thanks ! All photos are in black and white but the decals would be white anyway. Do you know a source for this decal paper ?
Decal Paper Source
I've used the paper from Testors with excellant results. I think Walthers has it as well.

Decal Paper
THere are two kinds of decal paper:(1) Clear; and (2) White.
MicroMark sells both. If you want white decals you need to buy the white decal paper since ther is no way an ink jet printer or laser printer can print white. However, if you wamnt to produce a white decal you will need to outline it in black so that you have built in cutting reference.
