Erie Lackawanna Freight Car Decals

Does anyone know a source for Erie Lackawanna freight car decals?  Highball Graphics makes a boxcar and a gondola set, but the font on the road number is off.  I had Prime Mover Decals print his 50' boxcar decals in N scale, and they are not usable.  When printing the white lettering in his Alps printer, he uses two passes.  They did not line up correctly, so the decals have a double vision effect.  He was supposed to print me the sets using only one pass, but he never did.  Now I was told his Alps printer is dead.  Anyone help is appreciated.

There are a bunch of Northeast Decals in EL on ebay at the moment.

There's also some on eBay from dkmtech. I bought some of his GM&O decals and they came out pretty good. They're Alps decals but no "double vision".

Fill my eyes with that double vision
No disguise for that double vision
Ooh, when it gets through to me, it's always new to me
My double vision gets the best of me

Highball Graphics has a set that should work:

I have the Highball EL boxcar and gondola sets.  They are OK, but the road number font is off.  I bought a couple of the Northeast sets on EBay, but I will not receive them until this week.  I am thinking the road numbers will be too large.  I thought that was a problem with most Northeast sets.  EL road numbers were 9" tall IIRC.  Prime Mover Decals is off the table until he gets his Alps printer fixed, or finds another printing solution.  Thanks for the suggestions so far.

Yes, Paul's work (Prime Mover) is top notch.

I hope his Alps recovers or he finds a subcontractor. I have plans to use his 50-foot boxcar sets!
