I am looking for a set of tender decals, preferably Champion, for the tender of my O gauge B&O EM-1 2-8-8-4. The engine is a 3 rail Sunset (3rd Rail). The tender lettering is incorrect on this model, and I have been going to solve my problem "for years". Can anyone advise where I may buy a set?

Thanks

PS. Will be out of town for almost one week so will read any replies after I return.

The Standard B&O Steam Loco set has a "Baltimore and Ohio" that looks right on the EM-1 tender. The decal set has at least three different layouts of "Baltimore and Ohio".  The longest one measures out very close to the correct size.   The font and lettering size on the Sunset EM-1 as it came is incorrect.

 

I used decal remover and managed to lift the lettering off of the tender without destroying the black finish and applied the Champ decals.  It looks much better now.  I did this some years ago when th model first came out.  The Sunset lettering really looked wrong.

I used the lettering from a Champ Set E-6D (D for Dulux Gold).  If you are going to use a set of E-6 decals they are Bronze Gold.  I don't know how they will match up with the color of the lettering on the locomotive.  I have the words "Baltimore And Ohio" in the correct font for the EM-1 tender left over from a couple of E-6D sets that I ised for other projects requiring some of the other fonts on the decal sheet.  If you email me you address, I will mail them to you.  YOu are welocme to them.  I will never use them.
