GTW Passenger Decals pre 1961

Does anyone have any ideas where to find passenger car decals for Grand Trunk Western with the old black and green ‘maple leaf’ livery? Microscale has them for diesels but not much else.

Thanks,

Dan

Dan, you didn’t specify a scale, I’m assuming it’s HO. I’ll have to check my drawer, but I might have some of those. I think Herald King did them a long time ago. You mean the “circle maple leaf” and gold lettering right?

Yes HO scale… I was curious though to any scale since I have friends that do GTW in N and O.But for my purposes HO are the ones I was looking for. It is the black and green with gold yellow striped livery with the maple leaf herald… the pre 1961 livery that I am looking for. Before GTW and CN went to the black and white (gray) scheme with red squiggle.

Thanks also for the SIG site that was helpful.

Bob, that was a nice link there to the CNSIG decals. Not to hijack this thread, but I’ve been looking for HO scale GTW caboose decals with the 1970’s era safety slogans. ( safety pays always, chances shorten lives, etc.). Any ideas?

Thanks,

Todd
