Somewhere years ago I acquired decals for HO ALCOA covered hopper -
has the ALCOA logo with large black block lettering ALCOA for side of car - anyone have details as to exactly what type car they had? Apparently they were leased from SHPX / Shippers Car Line Corp. but I want to ensure if possible that I can apply decal to a PS-2 covered hopper (Roundhouse) in good conscience ! Anyone know or maybe have photo?
