I plan to repaint/weather a Weaver model to replicate this prototype (picture from Grand Trunk Railway Photo Album by E.B. Robertson):
However, I can't find any O Scale decals of this style of Grand Trunk logo and I can't find any straight on photos that might be used to create decals. I did find this pic that shows what I think this logo may have looked like: http://placombe.rrpicturearchi...ture.aspx?id=1891122

I have some PGE decals in the same red box. High quality, from my artwork. Would they do?
PGE? Can you provide a photo and dimensions?
Micro scale makes them in HO. Perhaps someone could scale them up and print them for you…

Perhaps the larger HO banners would work for a low side tender. I have used Microscale large Erie diamonds in HO, on my O scale switchers. They work and look pretty close…

It wasn't PEG - it was DWP. Let me see if this computer is still working
Yes! Thought I was having computer problems. I may actually have Grand Trunk. I shall look. These were printed on an Alps printer, with white underlay (which is why they are high quality). They are surplus, since my customer has left us.

This Grand Trunk decal seems like what the prototype was... amazing how I can find almost no examples of this style of GT logo on the web.
Thanks for looking!
Next time I go to the storage unit I'll see what I have. Seems to me I had some old Champ decals for GT.

I went to the storage unit but couldn't find the GT decals. I know I have some around here. Probably put them somewhere special so I wouldn't forget...then forgot.
Sorry,
Jay
Me neither. But plenty of DWP. I can easily spare a set or two. The numbers were done in sets for 2-8-0s, but could be cut to match 0-6-0 series. I can find no photos of DWP 0-6-0s.
Just have some made. I got tired of looking for stuff I wanted.
Try Jim at Highball Graphics.
Library and Archives Canada...
Highball Decals is a good suggestion. The square which was the same as GTW and Central Vermont and Canadian National is known as a wafer. The Grand Trunk wafer was used on by the CNR in its US operations, for instance the switchers working at Suspension Bridge , N.Y.
