Hi all,

       I am currently weathering a few GATX tank cars (Athearn Genesis) and noticed the triangle chemical signs are missing.Does anyone make these in HO? Be a nice touch to the finished model and the customer might like it too!

Thanks for any help.

My experience has been that the graphics "disappears" into the black background even though the printer settings have been preset for maximum ink.

The only success so far is to print the design on white (non-transparent) decal paper with a black which is very close to the loco color, and touch up the edges with black paint.

After weathering, the decal blends right into the paint job.

Anyone have anything to share about transparent decal paper.

Thankls,

George

Does someone know an accurate history of the HO model Rivarossi Allegheny 2-6-6-6??

Where was the original model constructed?

Were there other manufacturers subsequently involved?....not just other owners or distributors such as Hornby and Walthers, but actual manufacturers?

Were any of these built in China, with perhaps different motors etc?

Just wondering if anybody can help me identify these kits I recently acquired. They are probably pretty old. The characteristic part is that the shell has 4 tabs protruding from the bottom which snap down into rectangular holes in the "fuel tank" part of the chassis. The motor and chassis have sort of an old "blue box" look to them.

Pictures to follow momentarily...
