Mike - I'm sure that's exactly what's intended ("Burlington," "Burlington");
Rich's wish-list just includes what else he'd like on a passenger car decal
sheet.
And he pretty much covers it. Very well thought out, Rich!
All I'd add (which I wrote off-list to Dave) would be to have the small "C&S"
and "FW&D" initials for those of us Lines West modelers who want to letter some
cars for the subsidiary roads.
I also agree that (if we just have one option) gold leaf is preferable to delux
gold ? it's more flexible in terms of time frame.
Finally (to state the obvious, since decal makers usually are conscious of
this), I second Rich's point about numbers: choose the number sequences in such
a way so as to maximize the number and variety of cars that can be lettered
with entire blocks of digits without extra cutting and pasting.
Thanks,
Jonathan
