Re: PC: Large Decals or Signs

[Jim Hebner <hebnerj@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Many designers/people use vinyl lettering that can be custom cut
/computer desgned
 

My wife is a designer and uses a local company that seems to be able to
do this - two color might be ineresting however.

Last summer I visited the N5E caboose at Utica NY - in fresh vinyl
lettering that looked VERY correct for PRR

Check the yellow pages under signs.
