    Does anyone know where I can Kankakee Beaverville & Southern Railway decals...

    If not, by any chance would know what the font is called?



    Thanks for all the help.

    Hi Brock
    Microscale made some KB&S decals.
    You might want to go to their website and check it out.

    The font of the lettering reminds me of the Wheeling and Lake Erie. What if you typed out custom decals using that font and had them printed? You could buy a sheet of decal paper from Microscale or others and do it yourself on your printer.

    For the two stripes on the nose, you might be able to buy a sheet of yellow decal stripes and customize them, or use zebra visibility stripes, and only cut out two of the stripes. The number font is harder to identify. I’m not sure for that one.

    And those were not herald king decals.

    Those are an old set from a defunct private decal maker known as Donald B Manlic note the DM on the edge.
