I’ve been trying to find the lettering for Lionel’s 710 and 712 passenger cars for a few weeks now, but I can’t seem to find anything. I’ve found the lettering for all of Lionel’s other major prewar passenger cars, and I’ve looked through all the websites I can find that have prewar Lionel decals and stickers.
Does anyone know who makes full 710/712 lettering, or if anyone makes any at all?
Any ideas?[:)]
Thought I’d bring this back one more time.
It appears that the “The Lionel Lines”, “Pullman”, and “Observation” stickers from the 605/606 lettering sets are the right size and type for my cars. That still leaves the numbers, but I wonder if maybe I can construct those out of other decals, like the letter and number sets from Microscale? It will still be easier if I can find a proper lettering set for my cars, but I can work with whatever I find if I need to.
Try Sharon at Olson’s Toy Trains Parts. She has rubber stamps for quite a bit of Prewar O and Standard Gauge. Joe Mania also has rubber stamps formerly produced by Jerry Butler.

Finally found 'em!!![:D]
edoptician, thanks for the suggestion of Olsen’s. I looked there and they have all the rubber stamps needed for 710/710/712 cars. If those stickers hadn’t shown up on eBay, I would’ve gone with the stamps. But, the stickers are about 1/3 the price, and I try to save money wherever I can. I will keep Olsen’s in mind if I ever need anything else.
