Photo of MTA CENTRAL logo needed

[nydepot]

Either a closeup or good head-on shot.

This is the logo I'm talking about but it's too blurry. I'm working on decals. Thanks.

the HO decals use to be made by GHB international, which made brass M-1a sets

[nydepot]

Yes, but I've had no luck with that. I used to make decals in the 90s so making them isn't an issue. Getting the documentation to help has been.

You might take a look at the decal sheets that Island modelworks puts out,believe the sheet for LIRR has the 2-tone "M"s
on that sheet

[nydepot]

Yes, they do but they say TRANSIT underneath. And he has no interest in adding the CENTRAL.

I've also looked at Microscale and talked to several other manufacturers including IHP.

you may want to talk to custom decal shop like Highball graphics.

I can do the decals as I have experience doing that. Whether it is me doing or another place, they still need good photos to work from. I've have worked with Highball on several occasions as well as Don Manlick and Rail Graphics. They still need good photos. You then trace using Illustrator and scale as needed.

So I appreciate the additional suggestions but it still comes back to a photo of the logo.

To nydepot:You want to reproduce decals,the following demensions are all in inches:lenght of top of M-10-1/8-bottom-17,height of M-13-7/8 width of each of the 4 angles-2-7/8 CENTRAL: C & L recessed from edge-2-1/4 lenght of C & E-1-3/8, N-1-1/2, T-1-1/4, R-1-5/16, A-1-5/8, L-1 height of all letters-1-1/8, width is-5/16, spacing is-3/4.This is the full size logo used on the M1's in need of nose repair or replacement,A & B ends of the ACMU's, sides of standard coaches,RDC's 11 & 19.There is a smaller version used on the sides of the ACMU's,company trucks and M/W equipment,which was about 1/5th the size of the large M.I had a small M,but that disappeared with some of my memorabilia so I can't help you there.This decal is a beauty-the M is reflective and the colors much more vivid.The previous type of decal was water solvent and not as colorful nor did it hold up well after a short time.I was given the logo 40 years ago and it still wears it well.Good luck in your endeavor.

Is that a framed decal once intended for installation on an MU? Way cool!

[pbass]

Yes.All my decals are in color coordinated frames.A gentleman doing the painting of the ACMU's at the NWP shop gave that one to me in 1973.
