Yes there definitely are things you need to fix!
Not much, a few stickers here & there, I need to finish the reflective striping, and move the logo back a little bit (it's correct on the other side.
I also have this one:

Very nice! These are the best skins i've seen from you, so far.
Thanks! It was tough choosing three colors that go together!

I too like the safety graphic on that geep, but I need to be picky. The force of a car on a soda can is not equal to the force of a train on a car. Force is mass times acceleration, and the masses involved, while a similar ratio to each other in each case, are not going to produce the same forces. I know that's really what you are trying to say, and I can't think of a better way to word it at the moment, but you might want to try.

Maybe you could change force to result? That's the message of the text I think, so it would clarify it.

I'll have to email them and ask how that works, then.
Whether you're serious or not, I can't tell! I want to say you're joking...

Ok. As you can see here, I have skinned an IC&E/DM&E SD40-2, and I am wondering what font they use for: A - Lettering on the long hood and B - City names
It still needs work. I am still getting the "PropertyBrowserRefresh() not handled" error. Anyone know how to fix it? If so, please reply in my thread, http://forums.auran.com/trainz/showthread.php?118175-Script-Error
Otherwise, it won't let me change the number. It also says (with the red bug) "Unknown : File common.gs, Line 1048, ER_DivideByZero"
Any help there? As for the actual skin, I still need to even out some of the stripes, and a few other things like weathering and lettering, once I find the right fonts. As for now, enjoy and please reply if you have an answer to any of my questions.

Do you have a picture of the actual locomotive you're trying to recreate? I could probably figure out the font from there.

I am working on two different locos here. The first is an IC&E SD40-2 (http://www.rrpicturearchives.net/locopicture.aspx?id=10629), and the second is a DM&E SD40-2 (http://www.rrpicturearchives.net/locopicture.aspx?id=51704). I may also do an RCPE SD40-2 (http://www.rrpicturearchives.net/showPicture.aspx?id=4094480), and later units like DME 6359 (http://www.rrpicturearchives.net/locopicture.aspx?id=10057 which I also would need the decal for).
IC&E is Helvetica, On the DM&E the numbers are Helvetica, and on some units the lettering is Helvetica, on the unit you specifically linked I cannot tell as easily due to the fading & photo qualities; but in this picture the lead unit is in Helvetica: http://www.rrpicturearchives.net/showPicture.aspx?id=3335441
I'll have to get back to you on the last one... I have an idea or two, but don't have my system up for checking.
