PRR Decals

[1956Porsche]

All

I need some information on N scale PRR decals.  I painted a couple of Atlas RS PRR engines and need decals for the small side number boards. They should be white letters dark background and measure about 1mm X 4mm using four numbers.  Can someone tell me what actual font and size PRR used? Does Microscale or some manufacture have an alpha numeric set (part number) that will work? Would be nice if someone made a set with at least 2 number grouped as small as they are.  All suggestion welcome?

Merry Christmas

There have been a ton of Scale Replicas numberboard decals on eBay lately.  They were produced for specific roads and specific engines.  You might get lucky and find what you are looking for, or get something close enough for use.  As far as PRR font is concerned, their numbers might have been unique.

I am assuming that by "RS" you mean RS3 or similar (not RS11).

Like the boards on PRR 5430:

If so, take a look at this set - it is PC but has smaller number board decals (white on black):

ShellScale makes lotsa different number boards, but not sure if any are small enough for this: http://www.shellscale.com/numberboard%20page.htm

Thanks for the information the RS's are not RS-11 but earlier 1,3,4.  I have some numbers that might fit but the numbers being so small will be a pain to cut and paste squarely one at a time on 4 numbers.  I was hope someone might have a decal set with grouping of numbers.  I was also thinking about printing out some number boards with Excel on decal paper and having an office supply place laser print them for me.

ShellScale number board decals might work but I'm not sure which set (4, 4 3/4, 5, 6, 7, 8 inch) would fit since I do know the proto type board dimensions.  That is why I was asking if anyone could give me the actually dimensions. 

Thanks
