Our newest decal set is for Reading boxcars in the "Roman" lettering scheme. This set contains sufficient decals to accurately letter TWO Reading boxcars in the "Roman" paint scheme as shown above. While this scheme was most prevalent from 1940 to 1957 prior to the advent of "speed lettering," several cars remained in this scheme up into the 1970s. The following classes of Reading boxcars can be accurately modeled with this decal set: XMu, XMv, XMw, XMx, XMy, XMz, XMa, XMb and XMc. A sample of the artwork is provided below:

These Reading Company Roman Boxcar decals are $6.00 per set, including shipping. You will also receive a 2-page instruction sheet with details on the various classes of these cars along with lettering diagrams to aid in proper placement.
