BN GP50

I am painting a GP50 for the BN but I have a small problem. I want to use the post-1989 white face paint scheme http://archive.trainpix.com/BN/EMDORIG/GP50/3121.HTM. The problem is that I cant find the decals for the side of the locomotive (the big “BN” and the text “BURLINGTON NORTHERN”) and I am not sure what decal to use on the nose. Also what decals should I use for the road number on the side of the cab. Or should I just go with this scheme http://archive.trainpix.com/BN/EMDORIG/GP50/3103B.HTM for which I believe Microscale makes a decal set for?
Thanks,
Reed

Reed,
The decal set you want is Microscale set 87-484.

Thanks. I never noticed that the only difference in the paintschemes was the face/nose.
