Found a great scale drawings websites for modern RR equipment (locos and cars)!

In light of all of the people in the old MRR magazine thread who wished there were more scale drawings in the magazine (including me) I decided to do some research. And this is what I found:

I don’t know if anyone has seen websites like this before, but I was sure excited with my find. Feel free to let me know if you find it useful or not. I apologize for those of you that model earlier eras, but chances are you might be able to find something similar to this website too.

The paintshop.railran site has been around for awhile, I recall years ago selecting a number of years ago retrieving the GP38-2 and the SW1500 images, importing into Photoshop, and testing out several proposed liveries (which I believe was the origional reason behind the site).
Edit: the last updated August 2002 date kind of gives it way. Still useful, though.

Yep, it’s been around awhile. I’ve used it a couple of times. Last winter I downloaded a couple of F7 a & b drawings for use in designing a paint scheme for my “work in progress” passenger train.
