Chameleon Posted October 30, 2015 Share Posted October 30, 2015 I've been after a sheet of decals to relivery my narrow gauge stock but have failed completely in ever tracking down a sheet of DR lettering (I did once get one from the alt zeit gruppe but promptly lost it) so I'm looking at getting a sheet made up. Does anyone know the font used for the lettering? Construct Black looks very close but there is a second font used on freight stock which is narrower. Can anyone shed any light on what I need to ask for? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allegheny1600 Posted October 30, 2015 Share Posted October 30, 2015 Howdy, Not a clue what font to use, sorry! Might these decal sites be useful? http://www.tl-modellbau.de/en/Decals-1-87-oxid/Bahn-Decals-1-87/ http://www.gassner-beschriftungen.de/E3_DDR_Dampflokomotiven.html Plus, finally found him! http://www.peter-wiegel.de/index.html- many, many German fonts.

K14 Posted October 30, 2015 Share Posted October 30, 2015 "Aachen" is in the ball park for the DR logo, and DIN 1451 may be the condensed face for numerals etc. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
rekoboy Posted October 30, 2015 Share Posted October 30, 2015 Alte DIN 1451 Mittelschrift is good..try also Preussische VI 9 and Preussische IV4 Ausgabe 3 for good fonts Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

doctor quinn Posted November 3, 2015 Share Posted November 3, 2015 I have used Andreas Nothaft's decals on HO projects very successfully. Service was quick and I think they take PayPal. Nick Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
