I need a good vector image, of an oncoming(at an angle) steam locomotive. Maybe with a coal car etc. Could someone point me in the right direction? Thanks

are you wanting to cut it? I was playing the other night, and downloaded a picture of a UP bigboy, then did a vector on it. If you cut it out of black, it looks real cool. (It is a bear to weed though)and I wouldn't recomend making it smaller than 24" long.Here's what it looks like. If you want it email me. I'd be glad to share:)
That BigBoy was an awesome machine. Some of the biggest, most powerful choo choo's ever built. I don't think there was anything that monstrous in this neck of the woods.
The town of Chipley was one of many which sprouted up along the railroad back a hundred and twenty some odd years ago. The mayor has asked me to design some HDU signs to be placed at all four entrances to the city and he wants a steam engine on the signs. I suppose it would be good for me to do a little research on the types of engines used here in late 1800s or the turn of the century.
Thanks again

whatever you come up with, you could do the same process, with a little less detail, and probably come up with a pretty spiffy looking design for a sandblasted sign. i.e. get rid of most of the track and ballast, and a lot of the finer detail off of the engine. If ya need a hand give me a hollar..........
