  Thanks, I think I tend to agree. This will most likely be the version I go with.

  Very cool. Thanks so much for the file.
  The attached are the earliest version of the decal and badge I have found. Both shown here are from Roberts Track Frame #66 and are what I used to design my own version of the files.

  Great recommendations! Neither of which I had mocked up before. Is this what you all were thinking?
