Glen-

Off the top of my head I don’t recall seeing any L&P drawings that show Zephyr lettering. 

I did the complete alpha and numeric figures based on the CB&Q/Budd drawings of the characters (including some missing ones that were either based on others like P from R and AE for Aeolus.  These appeared in Marshall Thayer’s RMC articles on the early Zephyr trains in RMC and were used by MicroScale for decals.   I also did the Aeolus artwork for Nickel Plate Products brass HO decals which later was used by MicroScale for their sets.

I did the CZ car lettering for Broadway Limited Imports plastic cars and also the Kato N Scale Budd Corrugated cars.  I didn’t do the cars to scale dimensions but rather proportioned to fit the letterboard panels following photos of the cars so don’t know what the heights were in inches.

Let me know what you’re working on and I might have something to help you.
Thanks,
Charlie

Is there a drawing or document that provides dimensions for the Zephyr Block lettering used on the stainless steel passenger cars.  I am looking for dimensions of the individual letters both for the BURLINGTON letter board and car names.  I remember we have had clinics in the past on freight car lettering sizes, but don't remember anything about passenger cars.
