Get yourself a copy of "The Making of the Scale Hudson" video.
This video covers a lot more than the hudson. It shows how Lionel trains were made in general, including painting and decorating, cira 1991,

In addition to rubber stamping, and heat stamping, Lionel used pad printing.

What types of lettering did Lionel use ?  I have heard of heat stamped and rubber stamped, are there any others ?  Also how do you tell which is which and how did Lionel apply them ?  May be common knowledge to most but I would find it useful to know.
