Reproducing old LT Notices on your PC

I saw a picture of that poster in Mike Horne's line history of the B-loo (Capital Transport).

XF, forgive my ignorance but what is the scale of your CWRD layout in ratio terms eg 1:72 or whatever? Once you get the font right (which, if you don't have access to the right one, you can assemble by snipping and assembling letters from the tube map into a JPEG - long winded but worth it for accuracy), it should be fairly easy to print it out exactly to size in miniature, maybe with some clear tape stuck over it to represent glossy effect. My wife used to do this to represent a tiny thank-you letter from the Tooth Fairy when our kids lost their gnashers!

God, that's soppy eh? ;D

4mm/ft- EM-type scale, or OO?

I've read about this. 4mm is about 1:76 although OO would appear to be similar but with inaccurate track gauging.

I don't suppose it matters much although I can remember getting terribly anal about scale in the 1:48 pre-WWII US Navy biplane fighters and bombers I used to model to the point I'd carve something up to correct a millimetre rather than know it was wrong, even if it wasn't really apparent to anybody else!

My wife can tell you the long-winded saga of the Whistlekiller Curtiss SBC-3 Helldiver (built 2002). Nearly led to matrimonial strife due to the engine cylinders being "a bit too big". Obviously, it was her fault........ ;D

I think the Weight is regular. Try using ITC Johnston Regular.

Yes - looking at the photo 21146 is correct - it is indeed a very peculiar version of NJ with a very poorly kerned title.

What size are you going to reproduce the poster at Xercesfobe?

That really does seem too bold! Out of interest would the main text have been so bold aswell? Do you know whats causing the line spacing to be uneven, Xerces, or is it just how the picture is making it display? Interesting to note the capital 'L' for line, when did it become strictly miniscule?
