Correct font(s) for RhB

[OBBherr]

I am "converting" a German wagon to Swiss.

Can anyone advise which font(s) the RhB use for rolling stock, and also public signage for converting station signs?

Elsewhere on the web I have seen it suggested that they are not publicly available and that Helvetica Neue is the closest.

Any guidance or comments appreciated.

Just downloaded an RhB leaflet from their website and uploaded it into my graphics suite, Its suggests "FF Fago" which is not a font I have used before or is in my font library, Din 1451 (aka Bahnschrift) is a good transport font to use (pm me if you want a copy) ..

As I have opened up the RhB pdf I now also have the current logo as a vector (or any other format you can use) if you want that also.

ok, so you got me on a topic I find interesting, me dad was a master typographer in his day pre MACS killing his skills and loved a swiss font...

Have just done a quick re drawn of this station sign and it looks like they really do use a Helvetica (very apt that they do ! ) and thats not Helvetica Neue i have used, on a pc that might also appear as "swiss font". There font is maybe slightly condensed version as you have the little kick on the "R" which makes it a match.

Thanks to both. DickyC, I will come back to you if I need Bahnschrift (the hint's in the name I guess!).
