Jarrell's Show Me Something — August 2022

We finished up July with Slogans. Wayne contributed several. There are plenty of slogans out there so let’s start off with a few more:

Road to the Future:

Any more slogans out there???

Thanks for starting the new Show Me Something thread Ed.

In my collection, the Road To The Future is the LANGFORD AND SOUTHERN:

In hindsight, I wish I would have made the Road To The Future be the HILL VALLEY CENTRAL, but that was not a quick enough thought.

More Slogans Please…

-Kevin

A scratchbuilt boxcar…

More fancy paint on freight cars, please.

Pullman Standard liked to advertise their Hydroframe Sill System on cars!

More Fancy Paint Schemes!

Fancy… in my mid-1950s style:

More Fanciness In The Paints Please.

-Kevin

The guys in the paint shop had a lot of fun with this one:

More fancy, special paint jobs, pleaase.

The NYC painted two cars in this paint scheme, a 40’ and a 50’ boxcar, as an experiment but settled on the Century Green car with the Cigar Band instead.

Other fancy or one of a kind paint schemes!

Rick Jesionowski

Not fancy, but one-of-a-kind.

This is the only one of my SGRR PS-1 boxcars not to have a herald, but instead have “S&G” in large letters. I painted this one, then decided to spend the money to have Rail Graphics print me some heralds.

Show me another fancy or one of a kind paint scheme!

-Kevin

I’ve been having trouble connecting to the forums the last few days but things seem to be working OK for now.

This has always been one of my favorite boxcar paint schemes.

Show me another colorful, fancy, or unique paint scheme.

I am glad to see you are back!

Please show me another colorful, fancy, or unique paint scheme.

-Kevin

I’d say that photo scored on all three counts.

This one is just colorful.

More colorful, fancy, or unique paint schemes, please.

John - Colourful or Unique.

The UK doesn’t generally go for colourful, but here is a unique one.

Not overly fancy but the map sure makes for an attractive look:

Let’s have more special paint jobs, please.

Show me a fictional home road paint job. Regards, Peter

I think I can come up with one… or two… or three!

More fictitious roadname(s) please.

-Kevin

I don’t know if these qualify as a paint job but I stripped the lettering off both a caboose and a Mikado and relettered them for my fictional road.

Show me more equipment painted or lettered for a fictional railroad.

That is a sharp looking caboose.

Here are a couple of pieces:

The only piece of equipment I own with a fictional name!
