How many of you out there have painted newer cars and engines for fallen flag railroads when they wern’t arround long enough to get them (or better yet, older equipment decorated for modern rr’s)? As an example i’ve seen several photos of widecab Rio Grande engines people made, and i’m working on some MP stuff (haven’t been able 2 post photos but i’ll try this one):
How about you? (if your not worried the “proto police” may hound you [:-^])
Well let’s see if i can get photos of my modern MO-PAC models posted. Or at least the links:
mopac,
you are posting the wrong links…
for example, this:
http://www.flickr.com/photos/28592309@N06/2687858671/
is not a link to an image…its a link to the html page the image is on! 
big difference.
what you have to do is right-click on the image itself, choose “properties” then copy the image URL…in this case, its: http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3046/2687858671_50cb7df885.jpg/
then…assuming Flickr will allow hotlinking into forum threads, you should get this:
ah! it worked…
a link to an image should always end in .jpg (or .gif or a few other image extensions.) .jpg being the most common. if you dont have that .jpg at the end of the link, you cant use the IMG tags to insert the image directly into the message…because without the .jpg at the end, you have the wrong link.
if you want to post the link, just dont use any tags at all…just copy and paste the link to the page, like this:

Its been awhile since you have posted but years ago I painted and decaled a set of Alco PAs for Norfolk Southern and they looked great.
My Lehigh Valley SD70’s:

so far the SD70’s only exist in “photoshop form”…but I do plan to actually build models of them in 1/29 scale!

This guy has done some absolutely amazing work with a modern HO scale New York Central:

I cant find his real name listed anywhere…he goes by “NYCS” on the forums…fabulous work!

yeah im waiting for southern pacific to get old enough to try this, but the layout im doing is if the SP took over the UP, so UP would be patch in grey and white[:D]
How about something like this?
I’d like to have an SD 90 or AC 6000 painted up in the old Chessie System blue/yellow/orange scheme.
I like the old F units painted up CSX, but I guess that was a real scheme.
I think what he means is more of the UP with the nose sporting a scarlet block and SP on it. Someone has a picture of that they customed.
Personally, I’d rather do a C&O. But I can’t seem to figure up where it doesn;t start looking like CSX. There’s a cool Monon SD-70 or something running around the MSTS add on site.
I rhink they call these foobies. But I have no idea why.
I believe it was T55 that had a run of something called the Classic Concept Series. I recall a Black Widow widecab (can’t recall exactly what it was) and a couple of other schemes. I found it interesting that there would be enough of a demand for something like this to actually produce it.
Thanks! The doublestack is my favorite one i did. Here’s the others:
Now i know what to do[:D]
Never.
But I may rarely letter a non-Southern Pacific car “Southern Pacific.” All mass model manufacturers of rolling stock do this (letter a car the prototype never owned) routinely without warning the consumer. If there is an exception, I’d like to know. (I’m not talking about low-volume specialty manufacturers such as Westerfield and Sunshine.)

Here is an example from another website of what I’m talking about:

Byron, the SP cars of Class H-100-9 were NOT center-discharge
cars. They cannot be the same as the Tangent model, regardless of how
Tangent has painted their models.

something like this?
Go to www.atlasrr.com and search for “fallen flags” or “fantasy” or “fantasy paint” and check them out. There are great ones on there like The Rock,Southern and different freelance roads. Really nice and worth your time to check out.
Here’s mine…Got the turbine from a friend, and the DD40AX off of eBay.
Ya’ beat me to that one[V][8D]. I’m still planning on widecabs in both schemes though.
Meantime here’s my 1st (fairly) modern engine in MP colors:
Would MO-PAC have ordered the GP-60 without dynamics?
precisely, just invert what the UP are doing today
though i just got my AC6000cw in the mail yesterday
Who made the turbine shell? Great paint job.
