I think that's a typo, Ed.  Should be Arbuelo - Spanish for 'Gramps'.  Or do I have it backwards??

Apparently Great (?) Minds really do think alike, Ed -

I've been pondering that same problem myself.  Plus, I'll have to get someone to translate 'Chromo Crude Triple Chocolate Stout' into Español for me . . .  

What do you think of using an italic 'A' at the beginning instead of an italic 'S' at the end - sorta like this, with lines above and below: ABUELO.   It shouldn't be too hard to rotate the 'M' 90° left for the 'E' and 90° right (plus a line) for the 'B', but I'm not sure what to do for the 'L' - should it be square or rounded??

p.s.   Getting back to the middle of this thread, should the tank itself be painted black - for the D&RGW, or red - for the pre-hijack D&RG?
pps.  Since I have a German/English dictionary, but not a Spanish/English one, should I letter the tank car 'GROSSVÄTERCHEN' instead of 'ABUELO'?
