RE: Calling New York Central repainters!

John
I've got bad news,bad news and then some possible good news.
First bad news 1
My wife is a graphic designer and can pretty much tell me the name of any font,when I was skinning a NYC caboose I asked her if she could name the font and I was told it was most likely a specilized font for the railroad and might not have an avalible computer font.
Bad news 2
I found a very similar font(not 100% but close enough)at a free font website(1001 free fonts.com IIRC),I'd give the URL but when I was there a couple of days ago the link came up kaput.
Now the possible good news
Since it was a free font it may be still avalible at other free font sites, the font name is Adventure SubtitleGary S
