Now we get to the hard part, Rob -
My Microscale "small steam" set will give you the heralds and numbers . . .
but the hood-side BURLINGTON will probably have to be hand-set from a Roman
alphabet because the actual lettering as I recall is not nearly as extended
as passenger lettering. The end initials/numbers should be the same as in
the Microscale switcher set, but duluxe rather than black. You'll
probably "come real close" rather than getting it dead on. As for when the
WOTZ/EW scheme first appeared on new deliveries, I no longer have my research
files, but I think it was the SW-1s . . .
