I can make you one if you want. My scanner's broken, though, so I'll need
someone to give me a scan of that logo up close. It's easier to trace the logo
from a scan than to draw it freehand.

If one is to be created from scratch, it would probably better to do it using
the LDraw pattern if it's high fidelity enough, and just render it large, then
scale and replicate, rather than scanning and tracing.

I know I've seen this kicking around though. Just not where

To clarify, I would have traced it as a vector graphic, so it can be scaled to
any size needed. The pattern is rather simple and lends itself well to this
anyway. Using LDraw might work. What parts use it, specifically? I know that
some minifigs have it, but that's kind of small.

The only parts I could find it in Ldraw have the logo at an angle, not sure how
useful they would be.  I was pretty sure it also came in a larger form, on the
side of a container with the 4x3 panels, but I can't find it in Ldraw.  Some
larger white ones came with the 4565 scale.

See http://www.ldraw.org/library/official/parts/4865p01.dat

and http://www.ldraw.org/library/official/parts/4865p02.dat

Thanks for your help.

Michel, I just sent you an email with a link to the finished logos. If anyone else wants a 2.67 MB zip file of the train logo in various sizes and colors, let me know and I'll put the link in here. (21 years ago, 17-Oct-03, to lugnet.trains)
