Gang,
Looking for the Black "Baltimore and Ohio" passenger car lettering for stainless corrugated cars and RDC's...I cant find anything anywhere.

Thanks,
Tim

Your best option is to head to the B&O Historical Society.

http://www.borhs.org

They have quite a few B&O font's available for download. Then pickup up some decal paper or a Testors decal kit and make your own. Black lettering is one of the easiest decals to make yourself. The decal kits work very good.

The fonts can be hard to find - here is a link to them:

I have a couple RDC's that I need to make decals for - this looks like the only option right now.

Friggin Excellent! Is there a post in the forums here that outlines making decals? I assume I would need to use a laserjet?

I remember several posts in the past where people used inkjets - that's what I'm going to use. Also, I bought the Testor's decal maker kit a long time ago - just haven't tried it yet. I have read that using an inkjet, you use 600 dpi setting and depending on the printer (and I think it was an epson i read about) you use the matte paper setting. There was a post here from someone that would make decals:

Good luck!
