Decals for scale locations and light weights just need the B&O
I've got all the major roads on the spreadsheet and see that the B&O was missing. If someone can furnish the top 5 or 6 scales for the B&O I’ll add these and start scanning photos for Hubert’s reference.
I know the Mopac’s light weight and month and year were 3 inches tall - were there any exceptions (taller lettering) to this?

Charlie,
The following list was compiled when we had this discussion a number of years ago on the old group, which IIRC was orchestrated by Richard Hendrickson. You will need to consult B&O fans for the top picks. Why I recorded this list is beyond me at this point, but it is scribbled into my ORER. I think I was most interested in those roads that connected with the WP. I see that I have a few more odd roads. It might take some time tomorrow, but I can supply them all if you wish.
BA--Brooke Ave Yd, Rochester NY
BW-Brunswich, MD
CE-Chillicothe, OH
CU-Cumberland, MD
DU-Dubois, PA
ES-East Salamanca, NY
GA-Garrett, IN
GW-Glenwood Yard, Pittsburgh
IV-Ivorydale, OH
KY-Keyser, WV
LF-LaFayette Car Works
LN-BR&P Shops, Lincoln Park, NY
LP-Locust Point, MD
MC-Mount Clare, MD
MD-Moofield, Yard, Indianapolis
NE-Newark, OH
PV-Painesville, OH
WA-Washington, OH
WI-Willard, OH
HAG-Hagerstown, MD
BY-Barr Yard, Chicago
CHI-Chicago
CV-Connesville, MD
GRF-Grafton, (OH?)
Are the old messages archived somewhere? This was quite a long thread.
I just noticed that I have two for the GN:
STC-St. Cloud, MN
SUP-Superior, (MN?)
Yours Aye,
Garth Groff 🦆

Charlie,
Reweigh data applied by the Monon was the same size as on newly painted cars, 3 inches.
Background colors could be either black or brown depending on a number of things at any given time.

I have all the major railroads covered. So I’m good. I just want to ensure the light weigh, location and date were three inches high on all roads.

Charlie:
I am not aware of any exceptions to the 3" height as long as you are talking about the 1927+ ARA standard (which was when the LD LMT stencil was added). Prior, there was more variation in how various roads handled the light weight stenciling (includng 4" lettering), but I assume that is not an objective of this decal project.
