DECALS: Southern Pacific H-100-2 Hopper - Boxcar Red

This decal set is designed to letter one SP H-100-2 hopper car in the repainted boxcar red scheme. These kits are available now from 3D Central - there are two versions of these kits, and these decals work for both:

As-Delivered: 32083 ACF TN&O AS- Built H-100-2 Hopper Car – 3D Central

Modified Top Chord: 32084 ACF SP H-100-2 Hopper Car Modified Top Cord – 3D Central

SP ordered these cars new via the Texas and New Orleans subsidiary in May-June of 1960. They were constructed of aluminum and originally purchased for sulfur service in Texas. In later years, after that service ended, they were repurposed for sand service on the west coast in California. Car 480008 was repainted in boxcar red with a decidedly non-standard SP Gothic lettering scheme (the typeface was rather unique to this car). This particular car stood out among the other aluminum cars that wore the red or yellow lettering. 

This decal set does one complete model of car 480008 in the boxcar red paint scheme. It includes a pre-set car number block, as well as a full 0-9 block so you can model other car numbers in this unique paint scheme.
