(2)  Could we print some of these up in time for the train show at the end of
the month?
If you can get a completed logo to John Neal - or have him finalize one,
I've got an Alps printer and would be happy to print up a few pages for you.


(3)  Could we print some of these up as *white* outlines on clear backgrounds?
Sadly, my predilection for steam locomotives leaves me with a poor canvas for
black line drawings to show up on ... do we have access to a high quality
printer that prints white?
The Alps has a white ribbon, we used it to do a white 'backing' (on clear
decal paper) for these GMLTC logos:

(4)  Do we have (or can we get access to) blank decal paper quickly?
I have a few sheets at home, we could work out some sort of re-payment for them.


(5)  Lastly, can we get access to some of that static vinyl sheeting to print
these decals on?  You know, the stuff that looks like a clear sticker, but
adheres via static cling to smooth surfaces?  I would love to use this
instead, as it is not quite so permament, and shouldn't have much of a
problem adhering to some smooth sections on most trains.
I have these sheets as well, but I haven't had a chance to try them through
the Alps yet.  I'm not sure if it can handle the extra thickness.


(6) Ha, I lied, just one more: does anybody have any thoughts as to how small
we could get this logo before it became unintelligible?  Ideally, I'd like to
see it shrunk to a point where it would fit on a black 1x2x2 (which is to
say, two studs wide by two bricks high) panel piece.  Could the printer
referred to in (3) produce a resolution that would enable this sort of
miniaturization?

The only way to find out is to try it!  I printed out some GMLTC logos that
were that size, they still looked pretty good.
