Don't know if there is an exact computer font to match the art deco font,
there is more than likely one very close. For the carriages we have had
repainted, the lettering has been done by hand based on original VR
lettering. Where the VR did not have a letter that matched (K in Kiosk on
the BRS car) he recreated the letter using the styles as found in other
letters to create a match. It's quite a painstaking task.

I'll ask.
