Is there a site/link for examples of car lettering for DIY decals etc.
Posted by Anonymous on Friday, November 13, 2009 8:26 PM

I have a few sheets of decal paper and thought I might try printing my own UP hopper decals since I will have to paint over the unnatural yellow colour of these cars.  Has anyone a site for examples of lettering that can be copied into Photoshop or something?

Examples from railnet photos etc. are not clean and clear or large enough to cut and paste.

I could type up most of the lettering, I suppose, but there are some very tiny details and panels that I could not reproduce just with a keyboard.

I don't want to pay $6.50 or more per car for a decal if I can do my own (I hope).
