I am modeling an Atheran UP SW-1500 switcher. I am modeling from photos in Don Strack’s “Switchers & Slugs”. I had a sheet of safety stripe decals which were old and fell apart and just did not work. I have looked in Walher’s book to see if Microscale has this type of stripes. My problem is the book dose not go in to detail about the stripes they sell, I don’t want to just buy any and then it is not the correct type. Which decals from Microscale or Walhers are the type used on the SW-1500? Any info is helpfull.

Thanks,

Brian
