I did search for this answer, of the ones I found most were a lot of words but no solution, and the links were all to commercial sites.  Does anybody know the name of the actual font Lionel used on its post war steam engines for the numbers as shown in the attached pic?  Does this font have a real name?  Not sure how many fonts were around in the 40's and 50's, but there can't be as many as there are now in computer word processing software.  Has anyone found one that comes with a program like Word that is close?  Thanks.

Download something like dp4FontViewer and then go fetch some of the thousands of TrueType fonts available on the web and sift through them.  Chances are you'll find a pretty close font.  Here's a sample, I have a folder that I unpacked 12,500 fonts that I found on the Internet many years ago, this is a very small sample.
