Custom Lettering a Tank Car

I wanted to develop some lettering for a 10M gallon Precision tank car. I had some period lettering from

an early Microscale set but it was for about 1920. So, I had to modify it for 1950. 

                                        
This is a pictorial on how I modified it. I used more recent detail lettering and kept the large company logos which I had determined were in use in 1956.


This is an overview of the car.
These are chopped decals to correct the car number to reflect the class of the tank car.
Here it is on the layout, before being Dullcoated.
