I have used some of the L&N Hopper decals from Bill Mosteller with great success (sorry no pics).

Also, Dick Billings at Fine N Scale has sets that ship with his Pennsy resin kits. I'm not sure from where they came.

Anyone have Craw Clarendon TTF?

It would take a long time to outline each letter.

Those are just black and white decals. Someone here must have an Alps printer. I,d give it a go with mines but I,m lousy at art work and page setup.

Found something very close. How close is up to you SPF's. This would be for the G22b Modernized

That black would have to go to be able to print and down sizing it to n scale would be difficult without a hopper. I ordered the Pennsy fonts from www.RailFonts.com. Who sells the hoppers?

I used the Graphic above to a certain extent, plus working with the proto pic I found in this post, I finished the art work in Corel draw. All I need is the scale size. Does anyone have an unbuilt kit of the car and if so, would it be possible to scan a side panel and send it to me? I,m hoping to be able to scale the graphic to the scan for sizing. I also need to find the round PRR keystone harald. Anybody know where I can get it at?
Thanks!
Andrew

This is a G22:

If you size the width to 3.470 you should get actual size. I have a higher res scan if you need it.

Can you make G22 as well as G22b decals?  As you see I have space available for them  ;D

I,ll need something to go by. Proto pic...road and so forth. Any info you may have. If you could measure the car in width and length and let me know, I,ll need both. That should work also. Inches or metrics is no problem.

 If you could measure the car in width and length and let me know, I,ll need both measurements almost exact. Inches or metrics is no problem. I just tried something in corel and this may just work out.

Thanks!

The height should be .316" tall for the sides. And it should be 3.470" long.

G22 Modernized is done, almost finished with the rebuilt scheme and the shadow keystone.

On to the H30 & K7a
