Decals for NYC and NH Railroads

Decals for the NYC and NH Heavy Electric locos have not been available for many years. Model Memories is offering a series of decals for these models from all new graphics starting with the New York Central P-2, R-2, S-1/S-3, T-1, and T-3 class electric motors as well as the New Haven EP-1, EP-2, EP-5, EY-2, EF1, EF-2.

The NYC and NH repainted (and renumbered) their electric motors several times through the years, in the mid-1930’s and again in the early 1950’s. We’ve tried to duplicate as much as possible the character of the electric motor lettering so you have many choices to accurately represent your model.

Special Notes:
1- The NYC had 41 R-2 motors. We’ve decided to provide all of the numbers in two decal sets for each lettering style. Numbers 1202 – 1222 and 1223 - 1243 in the early lettering sets, and 302 – 322 and 323 – 343 in the later lettering sets

2- As far as we know, all unpainted model “ T-Motors “ had side windows in the middle of the car body. The NYC never painted Lightning Stripes on motors having side windows. These windows were covered-over before striping was applied. We’ve taken the liberty to design our striping and lettering to accommodate the window. It might not be 100% accurate, but it sure looks NYC!

IF WE’VE MISSED SOMETHING OR ARE INACCURATE IN OUR FACTS PLEASE LET US KNOW

Features include: Painting template (Lightning Stripes only), all numbers in the series for the loco (no need to cut-n-fit. Even the headlight numbers are grouped), accurate lettering for Early and Later years

The chart below describes the various lettering and numbers available

We recommend Scalecoat paint. It is a great match for the NYC colors

Model Memories is also offering a painting service in the event painting is not your strong suit. Call or email us for more information
