Hi I recently came across this thread regarding GWR letters and I understand that you have the computer font for these letters. Would you be able to share the font with me, my club is building. GWR layout and I have been tasked with making the signs. In return I could 3D print some for you if you need anymore. Thanks.

The GWR font was originally being shared in RMWeb a few years ago but the link to it no longer exist. If it is copyrighted then sharing it between one or two people or the world doesn't make any difference and I do not want the font for commercial reasons. Since the GWR was no more after 1948 I think sufficient time has passed to allow it to be in the public domain.

The original "GWR Signs" font is held by the "GWR-Elist-2019" group on groups.io. You can download it from there if you join.
It's a bit old and some of the characters aren't wholly convincing, though. As they stand they all need to be emboldened for use on running in boards but the font has no bold variant - you'd have to stroke the outlines, which is not typographically the same thing.

@sumo hasn't been on RMWeb since October last year, so you may wait a while for a reply.
