I have 3 Aristo-Craft aluminum streamline passenger cars that I purchased with the worst rattle can lumpy Daylight colored paint job ever. I am slowly stripping off the paint and have just finished re-assembling the observation but I need to know the size of the Santa Fe font for the top of the car. It appears to be a super wife extended roman font that is less than 1/4 of an inch tall and about 1/2 inch long. Any help that you can give me on the dimensions and a source for decals would be greatly appreciated. Thanks. AJ the Teacher north of the Houston "yeehaw" area.
 
Source for decals ? https://cedarleafcustomdecals.com/ Stan can match just about any fonts, styles and coulors, especially the "run of the mill" types used by the major lines. They are waterslide type and he can produce metallic finishes. A well known and respected supplier in the model railroad world. Stan can reproduce from photo images or just measurements and font description. He did a perfect match for some gold D&RGW J&S car cant rail decals to replace some out of print Rio Grande Models (UK) items I needed to replace. If your preference is for self adhesive vinyls then G-Scale Graphics. However the font dimensions you are describing might put you below the minimum font height G Scale Graphics can do. I have used both successfully a number of times over the years. Both suppliers will provide confirmation design sheets so you can check everything looks right and fits before production. The also both do very quick turnarounds on jobs. Max

I am a very happy UK customer of Stan's, so I am sure he can sort you out your decals.
