Rolling stock re-numbering, which Microscale decal set?

Looking to re-number a bunch of items, is there is paticular Microscale set that will come in handy? (need alpha numeric obvously)  Large color decals to cut into patches would be nice too. (I hate masking and painting)

Thanks in advance!

Microscale makes solid decal sheets in assorted colors. They're called Trimfilm.


Hmm... I prefer TrimDigital...

Two scientists create a teleportation ray, and they try it out on a cricket. They put the cricket on one of the two teleportation pads in the room, and they turn the ray on.
The cricket jumps across the room onto the other pad.

If you just want numbers best experience I have is taking the rolling stick to the LHS and matching decal fonts that way. If you have a bunch of the same road you may be able to look up the font online and then match a decal set.

Perfect, thanks Kisatchie!

As for fonts, I'm not really sure it matters (to me anyway)  I'm wonder if MicroScale does a sheet of mixed alpha numeric lettering.
