TTZX decals

I've recently picked up 6 Red Caboose 73' Centerbeam Flatcars from eBay, and I want to repaint and re-letter them as TTZX cars in the 864XXX series. However, I cannot seem to locate any decals suitable for the job. Can anyone point me in the right direction? Google hasn't been it's usual helpful self.

Microscale's 60-578, Trailer Train Yellow Flatcars, has ZTTX.  That could easily be rearranged, IF the rest of the lettering is the right era.

Thanks for the input, but it's not the actual "TTZX" decal I can't find. It's these "Loading & Unloading Instructions" etc etc.. Microscale did offer a set in HO at one point but it does not appear to have been produced in N.

Having  
measured/accurate images (or links to them) is the start of the road to decals.  PM me if you have access to images...

Looks like something that can be done with a laser printer and a clear decal sheet pretty easily.  The graphic  might be made from images like this:

BTW, there are some great images on that page!  LOL

Ahhh, I see what you mean.  Centerbeams are a little newer than my era, and I didn't realize they had so much unusual lettering.
