Show off your reskins!

Here's a better view.

On the right, two new* skins for Ben Neal's C&O Class H8 simple articulated; Ben's original skin on the left.

* Made by altering Simon van de Laak's skins for the MSTS model.

5 tracks of LK&R's refurbished 57ft Mechanical Reefers are waiting to be transported to the LK&R along with the last 5 LK&R SD40-2's from the fleet order are waiting for the OK to be able to run so they may take all the Reefers with them under their own power.

Oh, it's that "Safety is no Accident" slogan that annoys me on the shed, because when safety is practiced, it is: 1) Keeping accidents from happening and 2) Since the slogan is on the top part of the shed, they could put "Safety, above all else." Rant over.

That Slogan is a VERY old slogan used in railroad safety programs since the late 1960s....I think that the people who came up with it know a lot more about the subject than someone on this board.
 
I finished two reskins of Ben Neal's Virginian Class AG 2-6-6-6 steam locomotives, made from textures created by Simon van de Laak. VGN reskins are shown in the pic below on the right of the pic, the original on far left. Both the C&O H8 and VGN AG reskinned locomotives are available for downloading. You'll get two CDP that will give you four new locos. You'll need to first download Ben's original H8/AG files from his website, then download the newly skinned C&O locos from here and the VGN locos from here. You'll need TS-12, since the locos use the built-in Y6b's cab.

Their were a lot of catchy safety slogans used by the railroads back in the day that were meant to capture the railroad workers awareness on safety in the work place. Today we have on the Union Pacific a safety team called TSC or (total safety culture) which still uses safety slogans & pictures to heighten the workers awareness to work safe. Some of the pictures are graphic but helps to remind us that it could happen to any of use & that the railroad is still a dangerous occupation if we do not work safe & work by the rules.
 
The numbers are Arial too. That disgusting 1 gives it away. The name doesn't look to exactly match what you suggested, but it is a good approximation. If they used Arial for most of the text, it seems that they'd probably have used another uber-generic font for the names as well. I don't know what it is though.
