Decals for SPENO / Pandrol Jackson / maybe Loram Rail Grinders?

[learmoia]

I'm brain storming a track cleaning train modeled as a rail grinder.

Does anyone make N scale decals for SPENO or Pandrol Jackson

Are the images showing?

No luck on decals, but I did find a neat website that tracks font/typeset use in the real world.

Oddly enough, Speno Rail was the only railroad related entry at the site.

So now I know the Font is 'Motter Tektura'  And I could use it to design my own set of decals.

Here are some companies which will print decals from your vector artwork:
https://fsdecals.com/
https://circusdecals.ecwid.com/
https://highballgraphics.com/index.php/custom-decals
https://stsdecals.com/

Also in Canada https://www.pdc.ca/rr/custom_decals/  One of TRW members uses them for custom decals

Yeah, I had created decals for both Speno and Pandrol Jackson back in 1998, but a lightning strike on my building took out my computer. Had not backed up my machine and despite having a UPS my computer was fried. Still want to do a rail grinding train at some point. If someone does them I’ll buy a 1980s era scheme!
