Ron OFFLINE Apprentice Posts: 11 Thank you received: 3	Hello, I am modeling the Reading RR 1959 era in N Scale. I am wondering if anyone knows the font type of the lettering on the side of the box cars. I would like to place a different Build Date on two cars. Than you in advance. Ron Polityka Reading, PA

I find this Roman style to be very close to the lettering on Reading cars. Good luck, Tom

PRSL_Bill OFFLINE Engineer Posts: 117 Thank you received: 25	From friends that make decals, most of the time the lettering railroads used were not a "font". Yes there is close which may be good enough for you. I have a PRR P70 coach lettering drawing. The letters are shapes with specific radius etc, dimensioned like it was a machine part.
