Found a set of Microscale decals, pictured below in photo 1.

I grouped the Microscale, Champ Blue Ribbon and BCW in one shot for comparison in photo 2. Seems like a big difference in the lettering size for the "READING COMPANY" which goes in the letter board.

Anyone actually have the Reading lettering diagrams?

Thanks.

LNE-401 OFFLINE Conductor Posts: 197 Thank you received: 68	The Champ set with the P&R in question is BRH-24, to aid in your search. Now, I haven't had any modeling time this summer, but may know where I can get some Champ, both style of passenger sets, and if successful will make a post for those interested. Bill

Allan OFFLINE Fireman Posts: 60 Thank you received: 14	LNE-401: Thanks for your responses. You made the comment that the Microscale decals were too large. Was there a reference you used to determine this? Is there any information to confirm this? Were there different sizes at various times? Thanks.

HoboPiker OFFLINE Conductor Posts: 227 Thank you received: 53	A good side photo will allow comparing the height of the lettering to the height of the letterboard (Space between the top of the windows to the roof line.) resulting in a ration to gauge the letter height. Agree that Microscale's HO decals are too large.
