Raster to Vector conversion

[Jim Starbuck]

I'm looking for help from TRW talent on converting a JPEG image of lettering to a scalable vector format that I can import to Corel Draw and print decals for the Heil company Davenport switcher.
It will be a two color overlay pass with the main lettering printed metallic gold then a black drop shadow.
I normally do this with no problem when the text originates within Corel but the font is unique and I don't have anything close enough. File format can be .CDR (Corel Draw), AI (Illustrator), PDF, PNG or whatever you think might work.
Here's what I'm trying to do:

I can do that.  However, the font on the loco looks slightly taller than the font in the image..  easily adjusted however.

Excellent, Thank you!

[Jesse6669]

I did the regular logo as on the image, then the elongated one as on the loco.  Let me know if you want me to tweak it.

Here's a link to the SVG file;  I just revised it slightly to fix a couple things I noticed..  Are you familiar enough with vector graphics to separate the parts of the gold/black elongated logo? 

[Jim Starbuck]

The height looks great.
I can’t access it as a link however.  The computer I’m using to print is ancient and is not connected to the internet The new computer doesn’t have any programs yet that can open the image to export in a usable format. I have to save the file to a thumb drive and physically move it to the old computer.
My apologies for being so out of date on things. Would it be possible to send me the file directly?

Huge thanks to Jesse6669!
I managed to access the link and am working on getting decals printed.

You're welcome, please share pics when the model is done.  Let me know if there's anything that needs to be adjusted.

@Jesse6669 I couldn’t be happier with the results. I’ll post photos of the completed project later.
Thanks again!

So nice to see when TRW participants can help each other out like this.

Jim Starbuck did me a real ‘solid’ with some decals once, and I will forever be obliged.

Great stuff guys.
