It's supposed to be for NS switchers or slugs.

While we are on this topic, i am planing to start my first GP38-3, I want to do 5826. It is the one that is in the operation lifesaver paint scheme. I plan to use the Microscale GP59 Opperation lifesaver decal sheet. I need a small HH logo, and i don't know if the small HH decal in the HH sheet, the one you guys are talking about, is too big, or if it will work, can any one answer?

Chris: thanks

Badhorse79: I plan to use a RTR unit, remove all fans and replace with see-troughs. I also plan to replace the plastic handrails with the old metal ones, they stand up more then the plastic ones. Im just in the planing stages as i am working on a GP9 road slug and SD35 rebuild for my own railroad.

Hello I recently purchase a couple of NS SD40-2 in Nscale and I applied the Microscale decals on and went to put on the solid white stripe that come along with the 60-1225 New Horsehead paint scheme fell apart and broke and I was upset because they all fell apart. I love microscale decals and will continue to use them, but I was looking for some different white stripe decals that will hold up so I can finally finish my NS set.
