Hi all,
This is going to be the thread where I post all the custom painted Motive power that I have done. As you will see I am a fan of Southern railway, and modern day equipment. So far my favorite SOU loco is my SD70MAC, while my favorite loco is the SD80MAC. Here are the first of many to come.
Man you know how to paint!! I love that BN SD80 the only thing you missed was the american flag that accompinied most if not all BN units. Other than that it looks like it came from the factory great job smoke!
That is sweet. I love Fallen Flag in modern power. Guess it just helps the mind run wild.
Love 'em!
Be careful there, Smoke; you’ll have good ole’ davidmbedard breathing down your neck before you can say Jack Robinson!!!
By the way, you do do an outstanding job of painting. (I can’t believe I just said ‘do-do’.)
Why would I do that? He didnt say anything about when and how he will be selling them…
Good looking units Smoke…

Excellent job, Smoke.
Smoke,Great job! Well done![tup][tup]
If I recall things he didn’t say that last time but that didn’t keep you from pitching a royal fit!!!
You recall incorrectly. He origionally started that thread so potentional buyers would know how and where he would be selling them (ebay). He then changed his post after I mentioned that he might be against the forum rules. Eventually Bergie REMOVED the thread because it was against the rules.
As you might know, I make a living custom painting for customers. If I were able to post my ‘wares’ on these forums and let people know where to buy them, I could potentionally make more money…atleast have more people interested.
On a personal note, why do you continue to harass me on these forums? I guess it is easy for forumites to sling out insults and names (past posts) when they remain faceless sitting in their computer chairs.
David B
Whatever!
Your reply speaks volumes. Have a nice day.

I detect sexual tension.[:-^]
WHAT!?!?![?]
A couple more pictures. And please STOP the fighting, or I STOP posting pics!!!
Very nice work Smoke. That BN loco looks incredible! Did you ever finish your painting torturial thread? I was following it closely but then it just seemed to dissappear.
Very Very nice work smoke i cant wait to see some more custom locos!
A+ Work Smoke, have you ever done any Maine Central locos??
Tim

No, I haven’t done any of those yet. I have only done a handful of Southern units a Rio Grande unit and the BN one. You will be seeing pictures of my second BN unit(another SD80MAC) here shortly.

That Rio Grande is bad dude! [:D]
Ok, I got to know though, what decal sets are you useing?
