Burlington Northern GATC 2600 Airslide Covered Hopper 1970+
This decal set contains lettering for a Burlington Northern
GATC 2600 cu.ft. early body style Airslide Covered Hopper. In HO,
models from Athearn, Eastern Car Works or Con Cor can be used.
The cars have green bodies, ends and bays. The trucks are black.
The BN inherited an almost 900 car fleet of Airslide covered
hoppers with the 1970. The CB&Q, NP and GN all contributed
cars. Yes, there are a handful of C&S cars, and yes the SLSF
brings cars into the mix in 1980, but the focus of this decal set
is the 1970s BN lettered cars in the "early" Airslide
body style. (a whopping 85% of the BN 2600cf Airslide roster was
the "early" body style cars...)
Enough lettering is supplied to letter one car.

Several different liner stencils, CAPY clocks, reflective
rectangles and re-weigh dates in the 1970-1983 range are
included. The BN logo is cut & spaced to lay out correctly
over the Airslide car ribs. (I used the Athearn car as the basis
for measurements)
The silk screened decal set is printed in white and black. A
lettering diagram is included.
Cost: $8.00 per set. Available in HO Scale.
