Illinois Central "Mainline of Mid-America" Hopper Decal Set

GHQ Stock # ZM2

$8.00

N-Scale (1/160th) Kit

We are reducing the cost of the decal sheet from $5.95 S&H to the equivalent of $2 S&H because the cost of shipping a decal is substantially less than a box of metal parts. The current e-commerce system we are using only processes one shipping rate for US orders. This rebate basically makes the decal less than $2.25 per car including shipping costs. Many short run decals are in the $4.00-5.00 per car range.

Your feedback was helpful in bringing this to our attention and all purchasers of decals at the higher shipping rate will receive a discount or adjustment to their credit card billing, as applicable. Keep that feedback coming.

This waterslide decal set provides white reporting marks, data, and logos for decorating
(6) six unique, offset side hoppers (five 2-bay and one 3-bay hopper) in the Illinois
Central �Mainline of Mid-America� paint scheme as seen from the mid-1940s to mid-1960s.

If you model just about any steam-era railroad that used soft coal and connected
to the central US, your RR probably got coal from the Illinois basin coalfields and some
of it could have been delivered in IC hoppers.

Apply the decals to Micro-trains 55000-series 2-bay offset hoppers and MDC/Roundhouse
3-bay offset hoppers or similar cars painted light brown, oxide, or black depending
on your era. The data and markings are arranged so that you only need to place two
decals per car side (and one for each end) rather than placing the data, reporting numbers,
logo all separately. However, a number scramble is included so you can easily decorate
more than six unique cars with additional decal sets.

cars in the decal set, please refer to the posting on our N-Scale forum here:
