These three decal sets are aimed at filling a
critical need in the HO Decal World: Accurate lettering for IC
Borwn 50' Boxcars in the Main Line of Mid-America Script
lettering scheme. Time to dig out all of those Branchline (and
others) 50' boxcar kits!
Oh my, so much decal goodness in these sets.. how do you know
which ones you need? Just read below -- details for each of the
three sets can be found in the following photos and info:
ICG-88 : Illinois Central
50' Single Door Boxcars 1957+
This set will letter 2 different cars, and covers example
cars in the IC 24000-24499 (IC Centralia 1959) and IC 25000-25899
(IC Centralia 1957) series. Of course, the lettering is
applicable to other IC brown cars as well... I threw in some IC
era 1960s/70s reweigh in there to make things interesting.
Yes, the above photo is one complete set of
ICG-88 !
ICG-89 : Illinois Central
50' Single Door Cushioned Boxcars 1963+
This set is aimed at 50' Single Door Cushioned cars, and
covers at least six IC series:
IC 10000-10199 (IC Centralia 1964)
IC 10200-10499 (IC Centralia 1965-66)
IC 10800-10899 (IC Centralia 1966)

IC 24500-24699 (IC Centralia 1963)
IC 24700-24899 (IC Centralia 1963)

The above photo shows everything included in one set of ICG-89 !
ICG-90 : Illinois Central
50' Double Door Cushioned Boxcars 1961+
This set will letter two 50' Double Door cars, and covers
at least six IC series:
IC 39600-39899 (IC Centralia 1966)
IC 41800-42549 (IC Centralia 1961)
IC 42550-42999 (IC Centralia 1962)
IC 43000-43049 (IC Centralia 1962)
IC 43050-43349 (IC Centralia 1962, Cushioned)
IC 43350-43699 (IC Centralia 1963)
This is a critical set for those of us in the 60s, 70s and 80s.
Just the above Double Door series total 2250 cars, and were seen
very far away from IC rails, for example, hauling lumber from the
West.
The above photo is everything included in one set of ICG-90 !
The lettering in these sets is extensive, and
includes as much accurate data as I could squeeze in based on
actual photos. The lettering in the ICG-88/89/90 sets is fully
cross-compatible, so you can use reporting marks in one and
data/return routes in another to model other cars/series not
included above.

75% Scalecoat Boxcar Red #2
25% Scalecoat Roof Brown
