Paint Scheme submissions for IACR 501 and 502

Evening!

So I’ve decided on making heritage units dedicated to my 2 Robin nestlings Theo and Geo. I cant come up with any ideas for a paint scheme so i need so of you guys to help out a bit

501 - Theo Commemorative Unit - Since Theo hatched on May 05 2025 then 501 should be the unit
501 - Geo Commemorative Unit - Just like Theo but Geo hatched a day later on May 02 2025


IACR 501 and 502 are AC44CWMHs so i would use the image above for a template

NOTE: If you are going to use black, DONT! Why? because of the details will become hidden so use the provided Dark Charcoal Grey like the underbody of unit is painted

The best looking unit will be the decided unit(s) that I will use as heritage units.

Please if you can, use Lospec Pixel editor, that’s the Pixel Editor that I personally use to get the right touches on all the locomotive drawings that I do

May the best unit win!

Correction, I made a Template for all of you guys to use


IACR GE AC44CWMH 501/502 Blank Template

The correct coloring for certain parts has already been done, avoid coloring in the roof of the cab as it is already colored and all cabs for IACR units are white with the nose being Dark Charcoal Gray to prevent the suns heat from getting in/reflecting on the engineer
