    Re: Pics: LTC logos and their derivatives —Robert Powell
   Very cool! John, do you know where I can find out about defunct railroads from the Southern California area? Our club has been searching for a logo and haven't come up with anything we are in love with. We have our first show coming up in December (...) (23 years ago, 6-Nov-01, to lugnet.trains.org)
   
        Re: Pics: LTC logos and their derivatives —James Powell
     (...) It really depends on what you are looking for. There is the PE logo (which is a definite), and then a bunch of smaller lines-I cannot think of names off hand, but there were some SP narrow gauge lines which might yield interesting logos, and (...)

        Re: Pics: LTC logos and their derivatives —Matthew Gerber
     (...) <Sticking my head into trains> You could go to Travel Town! I LOVED that place when I was a kid! I'd think that for a "Southern California" logo, you'd want Western Pacific or Pacific Electric. Matt (Steam-head as a child...don't know why I (...)

         Re: Pics: LTC logos and their derivatives —Matthew Gerber
      (...) I'd want to clean mine up a bit first...I just slapped it together, and the letter forms need to be cleaned up to better match the original. Other than that, see what Adrian and everybody else thinks, and get back to me. I'd really like you (...) (23 years ago, 6-Nov-01, to lugnet.trains.org)
     
          Re: Pics: LTC logos and their derivatives —Robert Powell
      Matt, I've submitted the proposed logos to the other club members and I hope to hear back by tonight or tomorrow. Many thanks you and John Neal for your help! Robert (23 years ago, 6-Nov-01, to lugnet.trains.org)
     
          Re: Pics: LTC logos and their derivatives —Matthew Gerber
      (...) S'not a problem...you're welcome! Did you see the variation logos I posted to Brickshelf later last night? One has the WP wings and the other is the beginning of a Zephyr design. Matt (23 years ago, 6-Nov-01, to lugnet.trains.org)
    
         Re: Pics: LTC logos and their derivatives —John Neal
     (...) lol But of course! That's why we're doing them:-) I created a folder of fallen flags that I thought might interest your club: (URL) think any one of these logos could be adapted and look really cool. If you see one that strikes your fancy, LMK (...) (23 years ago, 6-Nov-01, to lugnet.trains.org)
    
         Re: Pics: LTC logos and their derivatives —Adrian Egli
      (...) Those I LIKE A LOT! The ones John posted (thanks for the help) are really cool because they have that traditional look(?) and don't require lots of color (black is very cheap for my printer), and will be easy to print up iron-ons for shirts.

       (...) Alps made their own decal paper...just check eBay...supplies are easily had there. HTH, Matt (23 years ago, 6-Nov-01, to lugnet.trains.org)
      
           Re: Pics: LTC logos and their derivatives —John Neal
       (...) Aha! You used the past tense "made", Matt-- I had heard a rumor that ALPS went out of business, but it seems that they still have a web site. Know anything I don't? -John (23 years ago, 6-Nov-01, to lugnet.trains.org)
      
           Re: Pics: LTC logos and their derivatives —Matthew Gerber
       (...) Alps is still around...they make OEM printer stuff for cash registers and other things...they just stopped making the retail printer series (sadly). Luckly, supplies are almost unlimited...many eBay Alps sellers also have websites for (...) (23 years ago, 6-Nov-01, to lugnet.trains.org)

          Re: Pics: LTC logos and their derivatives —Adrian Egli
       (...) snip (...) Yea, I should have been a little clearer (no pun intended). It's the decal sheets that I'm looking for. BTW, the iron-on sheets Alps made are very good, my mom loves them.

      (...) I finally found white water-slide decal paper! Check this out Dean: (URL) it'll work with lazer, color lazer, copier, color copier! I'm so excited! Maybe I don't need that Alps 5000 after all (though I still want to print gold and silver) Matt (23 years ago, 9-Nov-01, to lugnet.trains.org)
     
          Re: Pics: LTC logos and their derivatives —Matthew Gerber

          Re: Pics: LTC logos and their derivatives —Dean Husby
      (...) It's cool, but I guess what I wanted was something can can allow white to be used. I know the Alps can do white etc. but a transfer system would sure be nice. Ahh well. I new I was dreaming... Dean (23 years ago, 9-Nov-01, to lugnet.trains.org)
    
         Re: Pics: LTC logos and their derivatives —Matthew Gerber
     (...) D'oh! The Santa Fe...why didn't I think of that? You can't turn around in So. Cal. without seeing that logo...but are they defunct? John, are your files vector art (I'm guessing yes)? If so, could I get you to e-mail me the WP logo with wings? (...) (23 years ago, 6-Nov-01, to lugnet.trains.org)
