Hi Jim,

 

 Thank you for the information. Do you mind if I forward this onto my decal guy. I’m only having numbers done and possibly model plates. Where the number boards 6-8" high then. I’m sure that he’d need that info as well.

 

 Depending on how well they come out, I’ll ask if he’d be willing to do runs for Q Connection so others can enjoy them.

 

Thank You Again,

Randy Doman

Randy:  What you are looking for is not actually font in the normal sense.  The Block Gothic lettering used with the Chinese Red scheme was a guide to cut stencils for the paint  shop crews. Micro scale usually just uses available artist fonts that are close to desired lettering, not necessarily a match.  Included is a sheet of letters and numbers I use for laying out decal art work,  It is copied directly from the Q artwork. The numbers used on Chinese Red units are 12-inches high. I hope this helps.  Jim Sandrin

Hi Everyone,

 I’m looking for the proper font to do Chinese Red Locomotives. I’ve noticed that the number 'one' has a different look to it.  I’d like to get it close as I can. Sorry for counting rivets. It just stands out to me and I’d like for it to be correct.

 I have the Micro Scale 87-15 descale set and that doesn’t look correct.

 Any help would be very helpful.

Thanks,
Randy Doman
