During August or July someone posted a photo of this boxcar showing they'd covered over the 1-1/8 inch round Lionel logo featured on the sides of this boxcar with another emblem. If anyone recalls the thread the photo was posted in I'd appreciate if you'd please link it to this thread as I've been usuccessful in locating it.
Thanks.

Great Seal of the USA.
Marine Corps, Army, Navy, Air Force, CG seals.
Just my opinion, of course.
I wish that fellow had said how these were made (other than that he used sticky shipping labels), but all he'd say was something like he "gave them to my wife and she took care of it."
The basic process is to find the graphic you want, lay it out and resize it in a graphics program (Photoshop, Paint, etc.), print it on self-stick label paper using an inkjet, cut out the graphic and affix it to the car (after making sure the car surface is clean and dry). Thom's wife does the Photoshop and printing end of it.

I actually use a glossy vinyl sticker sheet to make mine purchased at Office Max. Works very well and covers up stuff too. I just size up the image in Microsoft Word. Doesnt need to be too fancy
