...Franklin Gothic Heavy in Microsoft Word is a good match , although you have to take off the dot over the i !
If its the fleetnames and roundels you want , i can supply in various sizes .

For the destination on the B10m , i used Arial for the numbers , and Franklin Gothic Med for the letters (the numbers are larger font size than the letters) This was made on clear transfer paper , then put onto a "dayglo" green background. For the Dot Matrix style dests , i use font OCR Extended and put over a orange background. Fleet no.s are Arial Narrow size 5 Regys are Arial size 4 Any probs , let me know ! |

How would you fill in the radiator on a resin kit, for example if trying to create an earlier type?
