Lionel began production of the NYC AA using rubber stamped process (usually called 'Block Lettering') for the 'New York Central' Letters. They quickly changed to heat stamped letters, which are smaller and which are indented into the body by the heat stamping process

GM decals (normally grey but sometimes red) are located above the 'Built by Lionel' lettering. (Another version has the GM decals on the door forward of the 'Built by Lionel'
