Ottawa Central Railway

[cncproadwarrior]

Born and raised here and I never knew Ottawa had it's own railroad. Well it did until a few months ago when it was bought by CN. Only lasted 10 years.

I have an SD35 that I will be redoing and will make it an OCRR unit. Just wondering where I can get letters like I need for the front, back and sides. Staples used to have them but their supply is limited now to only black letters.

Bernie, try Pete at http://www.sparetimehobbies.com/
He usually has some obscure road names available and can also make some up if you want.

Here is a proper OCRR set.

Thanks PEIR,

They're perfect.

You're quite welcome. I have used Jim's decals before and he does nice work. He also has a set for the NBEC & CFMG SD40's.

Got a few sets of the Ottawa Central decals from Highball Graphics. They are VERY fragile and the lettering comes off very easily. But other than that, they are spot on.

OC mostly runs RS11's but since I didn't have any, I used a couple Atlas SD35's I had lying around. Not yet weathered but they look pretty good.

They turned out well
