Jawn Henry Decals

[NW Modeling List]

 I had never thought the lettering on Jawn Henry was any larger than that on the big tenders.The Microscale set has always looked right to me, so I am not sure what the problem is here.

 I've been working on fixing up an Alco Models Jawn Henry for a couple 
months now. I'm done with updating the drive and installing DCC and 
sound but I still need to paint and decal it. I'm having difficulty 
finding any appropriate decals for the main NORFOLK AND WESTERN 
lettering down the sides of the Jawn's hood. It is the same lettering 
offered by Microscale in their Norfolk & Western Steam Locomotives set 
(87-106) but larger. Does anyone know if appropriate decals were ever 
manufactured by anyone? I've seen several examples of the Alco Models 
Jawn Henry with correct decalling but I don't know if there was ever a 
run of those decals done or if those models used custom decals. I've 
never ordered custom decals before, I assume I would need to know the 
correct font and color as well as the letter spacing. Would it be enough 
to provide an example of the decals I wanted to duplicate along with 
dimensions for how much they needed to be scaled up? Can anyone offer 
any good resources for this?

Thank you,

Aaron Falis
