    Description

    Decals with the distinctive New York Central Budd car safety striping, in black, white, and red, in S-scale (#57), are available, including NYC road names and numbers, and each set does one Rail Diesel Car.
    The New York Central's Budd rail diesel cars were delivered without the distinctive safety striping.  After car M-498 was destroyed in a grade crossing accident in 1960, the railroad applied the zebra end striping to improve the cars' visibility.  Additionally, Penn Central applied these stripes to post-merger New Haven Budd cars.  This decal is in memory of Walt Danylak of Syracuse, NY.
    Thanks.
