Any interest in a 1970's era Penn Central loco decal set???

Microscale does have PC decals for locos.  It might also be possible to use HO sets to do some freight cars.

What we could really use are some correct fonts for road numbers.  There were a variety that just aren't available or used correctly on the models.  (An example is the WBB F3 - the numbers on the A units aren't even close to those used on the F7's and F9's.)

Fred

Can you post pics of the correct or link to samples??

Dave,

These links are on the Fallen Flags site.  The two photos actually show 3 different fonts on the numbers between them.

I will try to find some examples of the freight cars.  These are where the greatest varieties occur.

Fred

These links show 5 different fonts on freight cars.  Some look like NYC, PRR, PC and ??? heritage.

And, there a few more weird variations that I haven't been able to locate online yet.

Thanks Fred for those images and the Microscale info.

Microscale is down to stocking only one O scale set....so I may print my own.

I will keep these number in mind if I do.

Dave,

I bought the "jade green" font from www.railfonts.com with the idea that someday I would have to print my own.  Part of my problem with the fonts though is they only give you the slanted style numbers.

What did you use to generate your logo at the top of the thread?

Fred

I have a bit of an advantage......I design the decals for plastic model kits!

I started with a Square 721 font and modified it to match PC as close as I needed.

The 'PC' logo was made by using a good flat photo from a real loco and drawing over it as a template.

So all images are vector art.

I do have some PC decals. I can dig them out for a look see if you are interested.

AMC Dave...I have some PC decals....scraps...pieces and maybe one full set for PC electric locos. would any of this help you?   Tom

I thank you all for the offers of decals.  I have the ability to make 2-3 sets for my own use.  I was asking if there was enough interest to create a more comprehensive sheet and screen print them. I am not looking at a commercial product but rather a one time run of a O scale sheet to do PC locomotives.  I can screen print as few as 50 sets but that's still more than I could ever use. Just thinking out load! THX

Here is a sample of my one off custom work.....I wanted Chessie on my loco!
