Looks like you only need the logo.
There are number sets for the numbers - - - - except for the NW2, and here, You shoot the number color on the loco, use dry transfer numbers to mask, and shoot the darker color over. Use masking tape to remove the dry transfers after the paint has dried. The NYO&W herald on the front grill will have to be "cut out", painted, and attached.

The following is how I got around some of these problems:
It may be a bit hard to see in this photo, but the Cindys Harbor Logos, and numbers, were done in Green, and in Yellow, by Rail Graphics, to my artwork.
To get the green on yellow, and the yellow on green, I had to cut one of the green, and one of the yellow logos, and piece them together, for each side of the FTA,( FTB, and F7A ).
   
In the shot of the BL20-2's, I was able to use the complete Green logo decal, because the entire background was Yellow.
   
This shot of the LIRR C-420, demonstrates the use of Dry Transfers as "masks". The " 217 " is Dry Transfer, over the red, and the dark gray was sprayed on over them. The LONG ISLAND lettering had to be hand drawn, scanned, and printed on decal paper. I couldn't find the correct font, at the time.
