It's true that it's very hard to find a decent train. I spent a bit of time last summer perusing the royalty-free collections of several of the online image sources (Getty, et al) and couldn't really find a decent one that I liked. If we find a decent royalty-free one from a source, paying a one-time fee that's reasonable (i.e., <$200 or something) would be fine. I don't think we want to be dealing with royalties, however. I should dig up some of my sketches/etc from this summer. I had a few font choices also that we might want to go with. My first thought was something slightly industrial -- perhaps Aachen Std. I was hoping to find an Aachen Light, but Adobe didn't seem to have one in their catalog. (Guess who took a page layout course over the summer :-).
