Hi,I´m Christian from Germany,

I can´t find as lettering in HO the large CN for the GP7! Can someone give me a good advice?

You didn’t mention exactly what era or paint scheme, but since you mention the large CN, I assume you mean either the original noodle scheme:

or the similar modern switcher scheme:

Microscale has several different decal sets:

The one thing they don’t seem to have is the gold cab number lettering used in some of the 1980s-1990s switchers.
