1. HO is Walthers 62-78 black and orange C-420 diesel. There is enough lettering and numbers to do one complete diesel. The numbers are orange to match LI practice, but the words LONG ISLAND are black, but close to the blue gray that the railroad used on its Alco C-420s.

2. Crown Custom Products. This set has been out of production for a number of years. There has been reissues of various parts of this set but not to the accuracy found in this decal set number SS-1 LIRR-MTA PASS. Included are two color styles that was a variation of the LIRR's extended gothic that became known as "World's Fair" lettering. The lettering LONG ISLAND is slanted, and orange in color to match the window bands and ends of the various classes of MU and diesel coaches. During the early control of the Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA), the MTA continued to us the slanted lettering, but changed the color to blue to match the new blue car bands. This set has four Dashing Dan Heralds, along with four Weekend Chief Heralds! The "Dans" are facing each other which would allow the placement on HO coaches as was the prototype practice on the LI. Also there are four early purple and blue "M", with the words LONG ISLAND underneath, used by the Long Island after the Metropolitan Commuter Transportation Authority chanced direction and controll over its various transportation properties and became the Metropolitan Transportation Authority. The last coach set in this great set is one of the best! The complete slogan and Unishpere Heralds that the LIRR used during the 1964-1965 New York World's Fair! -Ride the LONG ISLAND travel easy- Your STEEL THRUWAY to the FAIR GATEWAY- Once again the color is orange to match the bands and ends of the cars. Car numbers are included along with "CD" letters which stood for centralized door control along with the letter "F" in orange color. The "F" stood for the front of the MUs in this case. But in prototype practice the Long Island Railroad used a dark blue gray for the numbers, because the numbers were placed on the orange bands, and could be seen. The letter "F" was in white to show up on the blue gray bodies of the coaches.

3. Crown Custom Products set P-14 LIRR COACH BLUE, is another set out of original production for years. There is enough lettering to do one MTA LIRR coach in the blue slanted "World's Fair" lettering. The one interesting part of this set is that the car numbers are in two different sizes! Very early on the MTA did experiment for a short time with two different car number sizes in blue.

4. Crown Custom Products L-16 LIRR MTA DIESEL. With the last of the GP38-2 off the property and roster, the last of the conventional paint schemes followed. IN 1976 when the LIRR took delivery of its first EMD products, the various classes of engines were painted blue and white, with large "M" heralds on their car bodies. This original out of production set includes three "M", large red and black numbers, along with small black numbers.
