Set SE-29 (Above)

SP took delivery of thousands of 40' Boxcars after WWII. These decal sets focus on the 9500 cars built by Pullman-Standard and SP's own Sacramento Shops from 1950-1953. The cars featured a 10' Inside Height and 7' Doors.

Set SE-28 covers delivery lettering for the B-50-28, B-50-29, B-50-31, B-50-32, B-50-33 classes, 1950+
Set SE-29 covers SP repaints from 1958+. It focuses on the B-50-28, but extra classes and data is included for B-50-29, B-50-31, B-50-32, B-50-33 and more.

Much of the lettering is cross-compatible, so modelers will likely find uses for both sets no matter what their era.. (CAPY data, classes etc.)

These new decal sets are designed for the Tangent Scale Models SP 40' Boxcar with 7' Door. A detailed lettering diagram is included with each set showing examples of applicable paint schemes.

Available in HO Scale only. All artwork drawn by me. Printed by Cartograf of Italy, the finest producers of water slide decals in the world.
