I had a similar idea some time ago, except I have very limited ability to print and apply graphics, so mine was more of a "trade" deal, where I would letter a home road car of your choice (since I have the decals here) and trade you for a similar car that you lettered (since you have your own decals)
Until I have some more knowledge on making, printing, and applying graphics I will stick with trading. I have decals printed by Rail Graphics so I can letter up a car if anyone wants to trade, just PM me.
EDIT: My scheme is real easy if anyone wants to include the Potomac Line but doesn't have a car to trade. It is simply RR Roman lettering... POTOMAC LINE for boxcars, BALTIMORE AND POTOMAC for hoppers and gons. Flats and tanks just get reporting marks, no name. The reporting marks can be B&P, B&PRR, WBPL (Washington, Brandywine, and Point Lookout), SMRR (Southern Maryland RR), PB&W (Philadelphia, Baltimore, and Washington) or NC (Northern Central). Those are the reporting marks for the railroads that make up the Potomac Line in my fictional world, however ALL rolling stock, regardless of reporting marks, uses the above mentioned POTOMAC LINE for boxcars, and BALTIMORE AND POTOMAC on hoppers and gons.
