Went to google.com

Selected images.

Searched on "funnel flow tankcar".

Got at least 2 pages of tank car images.

Searched on "tankcar" and it took 9 pages to before the tank car pictures dribbled out.

Went to microscale.com, HO decals, searched for "Tank cars" and got about 4 pages of listings of decal sets for tank cars, clicking on the product number brings up a picture of the decals and you can read what's on them (or just order the decal set and they will give you the correct lettering).

I found all this out in 7 minutes including typing this post.  You have waited at least 2 hours since you posted the question.  Rooting around on the internet yourself can be quicker and you will have a variety of images to choose from.

I actually went on google and searched nothing of decent information was readable. And I never thought of going to microscale thanks for that idea.
