We started the Silver Crash Car Works Painting Department because we wanted decals up to the same standards as our kits. Our official lettering sets are printed by RailGraphics® and include both a lettering diagram with full prototype information and a (roughly) 2 x HO scale summary of the contents of the decal sheets. These decals are as sharp as modern technology permits, and each set allows you to letter your Silver Crash Car Works kit with any car number you want from that given prototype series. The sets below are arranged according to their lines' relation to the center of the universe. Click on any set to see its corresponding lettering diagram.
