Protocraft strives to achieve the best possible rendering of the prototype lettering by working only from photographs, corrected for perspective and scale of the individual car in Photoshop, drawn in Adobe Illustrator as vector art, with decal sheets produced for Protocraft by Microscale Industries.

Protocraft has also partnered with well known HO decal artist and author Ted Culotta to bring his artwork to the 1/4"scale hobby, much of which has not previously been available.

Additionally, local Sonoma graphic artist Michael Hollyfield, has been brought in to draw many new and interesting heralds as well as design and replicate many railroad stencil font styles.

The following lettering sets are new and have been posted as follows:

Please note that production costs from suppliers and the producers have risen substantially. Decal sets produced in 2009 and 2010 will remain at $6.50 for the standard sheet, but for production in 2011, we have had to increase the standard sheet to $7.50, with complicated or multi-color sheets even more.
