Source for N Scale Milwaukee Road Steam Decals

Hi all,

I'm trying to find appropriate decals for 1930's Milwaukee Heavy Mikado in N Scale.

Streamstyle Graphics has the exact set I need but I've had no reply after an inquiry. And after a bit of research it seems that the company has had some issues in the past and I'd rather not deal with them. Not shipping orders for over a year, etc.

I don't have a printer or the ability to make my own, so out of luck there.

I couldn't see any Microscale decals that seemed to work, but are there other sources, even if I have to piece a few sets together? The big thing is the tender herald has to spell out "Chicago, Milwaukee St. Paul and Pacific" So none of the plentiful simplified "The Milwaukee Road" decals work.

This is the best I could find, with the two smaller logos having potential but I can't confirm:

http://www.microscale.com/Merchant2/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Product_Code=60-53&Store_Code=MD&search=milwaukee+road&offset=&filter_cat=&PowerSearch_Begin_Only=&sort=&range_low=&range_high=

There was a suggestion on an old Atlas thread to use this set claiming the proper heralds are on the sheet, but in HO, but I'd be worried about sizing and I just don't want to drop 12+ dollars on the wrong decals. I might bite the bullet on that set in N, but I'm hoping there is someone out there in the know.

Thanks in advance!
