Modeling News

• M&StL Diesel decals - a new, revised set of Microscale decals for the MINNEAPOLIS & St LOUIS RED DIESELS. Microscale had discontinued this set so John Harker and Gary Groat decided to do it for themselves. The new set has been totally revised to include appropriate numbers (including numberboard numbers) for the F units, GP's, RS-1's and SD-7's all in the appropriate sizes. We also eliminated the overlay required in the old set and now have the "MINNIAPOLIS & St LOUIS" as see thru within the white stripes. I believe you can now do 2 units of all locomotive types out of one set. The pilot safety stripes on the GP's can be a pain so there is now 6 in the set in case you mess one up. The sets can be ordered from John Harker, PO Box 703, Ames, Iowa 50010 at $7 per set with $1.25 shipping. Combined shipping is available for multiple orders. Dealer inquiries are welcome. Call John with questions at 515-520-7400.
