PC: Re: Caboose decals anyone? (N-Scale). Other things as wells.

["Bill K." <pontiac@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Microscale's HO decal sheet is labeled "Penn Central Locomotives and
Cabooses" since it's an older sheet; I believe most of their older sheets
are supposed to do both, while newer ones are more specific for
locomotives.

Assuming the N sheet is the same, you could get away with the smaller logo
and a couple sets of lettering and make it presentable.  

If you want something wierd, PC had a handful of ex-AT&SF cabooses with the
cupola cut down and bay windows added; like in HO I think everyone's made
this caboose in N at one time or another -
