This set was produced to fill a gap in PRR decals which have never been done prior to this set.
The PRR's Y4 Scale Car was a standard 80,000 lb. design, which has been made availible in Brass, from Overland and
Hallmark, in addition to a limited run cast metal kit from Stewart Products and in plastic from Walthers.
This sheet includes enough decals to decal two cars. The set inclues 4 different car numbers with the correct build dates
for each number. There are three different lube dates and one set without a lube date for decaling for an earlier era. Also,
from referring to photographs, additional letering has been included for modeling post-1960's cars and additional detail
lettering with special instructions, which can be modeled and added to you model.
Shown below are prototype photos and the decal artwork.
