Bob-

If you can locate ANY CB&Q lettering drawings in I would be much interested in 
getting scans of the documents.
Most of the Pullman documents I looked at in the Pullman Library collection 
made reference to CB&Q Lettering and Painting (L&P) drawings but the actual 
drawing
nor the Stencil Drawings (with the actual shape of the characters, not the 
arranagment of the lettering) were not included in the files.
Maybe a set of drawings are in the files somewhere.... one can only hope.

Ditto for Freight Equipment and for that matter Locomotive lettering.....

I will make up computer usable Fonts that and share them with all interested if 
anything can be found...   ("back in the day" I inked the full
Budd/Zephyr Alphabet and Numbers from CB&Q drawings that first appeared with 
Marshall Thayer's Zephyr drawings in RMC).... later they
were probably used as the basis for Micro-Scale's decal artwork for Budd cars, 
etc..
