Some swedish diesel action!
Well the loco is from a Swedish forum: http://www.e-buzz.se/
And the direct link to the loco here: http://www.e-buzz.se/forum/showpost.php?p=198969&postcount=1
However the repaint is made by a friend of mine that goes by the name Ekankal, that was sent to me as a gift.

Hey just wondering, does anyone know where I can find some German signs for download?
Continuing that question, has anyone made any signs for the border of East and West Germany? Mainly signs telling you that the border is X distance away, or you are at the border, do not cross? Or a sign that tells US troops that they are 1km from the border and they can't proceed any further without express permission from their superiors.

Street signs can be found under the username 'klapec', all starting with VZ.2... Kinda complex system: The pylons are vertival aligned tracks, signs are trackside ojects that snap to the pylons. These can be combined and moved around, neat. He used to create signs from pre-WW2 area (can be partwise used 'till 1960s/early 1970's West and East) as well as modern signs, all Western style. Unfortunately not complete.
Other signs are created by users named 'engfer' and 'gerd'.
Border stuff can be found on DLS, look for users 'web4cash' (various signs, soldiers, patrol cars (Trabant Kuebel), tower) and 'wahrmann1' (e.g. Grenzturm, P3 car some other stuff, not always reasonable quality). Make sure to have TRS2004 and earlier ticked while searching.
More sources worth to look for historic pictures:
http://www.wolfgangroehl.de/Grenzbilder/Grenzbilder.htm
http://www.grenzbilder.de/die_grenze/die_grenze_von_a_bis_z.php
Always worth to look for items made by 'ulme', 'mick1960'. May also search for items with title 'DDR'.

Ran some further search on this, quite interesting topic for myself:
Tried to find some USAREUR sources. Actually to my knowledge allied troops have got some privileges West-German authorities may haven't got. I remember seeing some US patrol driving through East-Germany on the transit Autobahn Frankfurt/Munich - Berlin, mid 80's.
You may get some background or at least leads here:
http://www.usarmygermany.com/ -> veterans site, lot's of information on bases etc.
http://www.history.army.mil/documents/BorderOps/content.htm -> official doc, try chapter six, also contains some appendix to British border patrol
Some other vet pages:
http://www.berlin-brigade.de/us-ins/duty-train.html -> Berlin duty train information. Interesting: The wagon numbers point to Deutsche Bundesbahn as owner.
http://dragoonbase.com/group/hofcamp -> border patrol

Picture taken in the 60s from West to East. Here you see the usage of pre-WW2 style street signs as mentioned earlier:

May also run a search against "11th Armored Cavalry Regiment", stationed at the border and serving along the border to Bavaria and Hessen. Also "Fulda gap" may returns information and pictures. The US zone ended near Kassel, so if you go for a more Northern location, British sources would be required.
Sorry for being off-topic...

Awesome, thanks guys. So far I am really enjoying learning about the interactions between the two halves, and how to model European rail infrastructure. Thanks again for all of the help so far.
