We are heading more in the direction of providing historically correct products, both for buildings and lettering that may be used on them. I have two customers that are interetsted in PRR lettering, one to use as a roof mounted billboard sign and the other to letter “Safety First” on a turntable. I am looking for the serif-style letters that show up on some of the pictures of turntables. Our Westinghouse letters do not cut it and the Clarendon font is not quite right.
In the end, we will develop a polyline outline of each letter so that the alphabet may be scaled in AutoCAD. This will allow us to more easliy cut the letter sets in all different sizes.
If you have an alphabet sheet or know of a source for one for the various PRR fonts, especially the serif-style, please share it with me. There’s a set of letters in it for you if we use it!
