In Old Sac, the oldest district in Sacramento, California, lives the California State Railroad Museum. At the California State Railroad Museum, lives a boxcar. This boxcar...
Since my fiancee is from Sacramento, I am recreating this boxcar.
I bought a USA Trains 40' Steel boxcar from a friend this past weekend (R19208A). While I just now realized that it's the wrong size door on the car, it'll do just fine.
The car needs some new bits, including all new wheels (it didn't come with any).
I've created a decal for it and I'm wondering 1) if it's a good replication (suggestions and feedback encouraged!) and 2) what type of decal do others think I should use. My biggest concern is whether or not the decal will actually be able to replicate the detail I have here. (I'm expecting no.)
One thing I do need to clarify: I know the font for "WATERFRONT" isn't quite right. If someone can suggest a better one, I'm open to it. But, this was the closest I could find in Google Fonts.
