For some reason, I like it better in game than I do in real life! Great job!

Definitely look great so far, but wouldn't the NJT F40CAT work better? It seems to be more accurate model wise (e.g no cab-mounted headlights, no raised platform above the air filters). Again, not pooing over what's been done so far, I'm just curious.

[buzz456]

Duh. I think it's the same map and you are right. I'll check it out and post back here.

Good catch Brick. I'll switch over.

Anyone know what the heck font they used on the side of this thing? Or B can someone find me a a square on side shot that I can use for a template? This isn't your normal CSX lettering.

You're welcome. I'm on hold until I either find or someone finds a good font for me to use on this puppy.

Will this help?

Thanks but no. This critter has some odball lettering that's not standard for CSX. I haven't been able to find any reference to it.

Looks to me like Bold-faced Times New Roman at a higher font size.

Neither the C or the S match. It's something else unless they did a custom font for this thing. The closes one I have found so far is Sitka subheading. It might work or Palatino Linotype. Looking at other Palatino fonts.

This looks pretty close: Font name is Century
