i All! I’m in need of a nose decal or set of decals for an OMI Hiawatha locomotive. Or if anyone can custom make it.
Thanks for any help! Jon

So nice to have you back.

Callie Graphics did gorgeous vinyl stick-ons for my Erie-Built. Your problem will be getting the angle right.

Not sure you can see how well Callie captured this, but here is my "cigar band" vinyl from her:

All the photos in my Erie Built thread here have aged out, but OGR, in spite of not liking me very much, has preserved all of my images.

Looks great, Bob!!
I’ve seen a Lionel emblem on the bay and notice the wingtips are upswept so it can level out around the nose bend.

I have a sheet of decals that are fairly close. These are for the early F-units:

I have no memory of where these came from. They appear to be custom printed. I would be glad to part with one or two of them if they are close enough for you, Jon.
