These temporary markings became a familiar part of the appearance of working freight equipment.\n  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003cp style=\"font-size:16px; line-height:1.9; margin-bottom:36px;\"\u003e\n    Microscale's HO scale Boxcar Chalk Markings decal set provides a convenient way to reproduce these subtle but distinctive details.

Chalk markings are easy to overlook, but they help tell the story of a car that has traveled across the railroad system, been handled by different crews, and spent time in everyday service. Microscale makes it easier to recreate those details without having to hand-letter tiny markings yourself.
