I use mostly C-D-S lettering on all of the cars which I paint and letter (probably 90% of all those on the layout) and generally like them a lot. It's too bad that they're no longer producing lettering, although they still have quite an inventory to sell.
I did the artwork for the herald, and then simply used Letraset letters and numerals for the first two orders. My brother then photographed the finished artwork and made a "positive" of it to send to C-D-S.
For the third order, he used the original artwork, then re-sized it as required - working on his computer, he enlarged each letter to full-screen size, cleaned-up all of the edges (it's amazing how bad the original looks under magnification), then shrank it down to the required size.
