I picked up a trio of HO Con-Cor mP54s from my LHS at a very good price. They had been ordered for someone who never picked them up. They are unlettered, but in PRR paint scheme. Anyone know where I can get the right decals to letter these for the Pennsylvania RR?
This will get you started if you are looking for the later PRR versions. Enough on one sheet to do all three of your cars.

I don't have the exact timeline in front of me but as a rough idea, the late 1940s cars had imitation gold lettering. Then in the '50s & 60s it was Pennsylvania spelled out in the letterboard with Buff color lettering then simplified to just a keystone in the mid 60s to the merger in 1968.
