Frank Swafford, artist.

Good Day Dave,

Thank you for the kind words and compliment. I’m glad you like the drawings.

Happy model railroading!

Regards,
Frank

Frank's paint schemes are one of the joys of visiting this forum.

I'll second that! Frank was so nice to render a pair of Pennsy diesels in tuscan a couple of months ago for me. Once framed they will get a royal spot in my train room.
Thanks again, Frank.

Yep..Frank is a fine fellow!! Out of the blue a few months ago he e-mailed some renderings to me. I was pleasantly surprised and thought it was so very generous of him to do something so nice. I will be adjusting my urban backdrop to include a couple of his buildings!! He even did a few examples of locomotives that I am considering having models painted in the schemes he designed.

Thanks Frank!!

Frank does a GREAT JOB of helping us to picture many possible color schemes for our railroads. I have two power units being turned into reality thanks to GREAT HELP from Frank.
Frank was in the process of moving from TX to OK when we were tweeking up the design but FRANK NEVER MISSED A BEAT. He was able to respond to EACH AND EVERY REQUEST of mine. THANKS FRANK FOR ALL YOU DO HELPING US TO ENVISION POSSIBLE SCHEMES.



About the only detail not shown on the drawing are the crossed US/CA Flags that will be placed along the sides near the GT LOGO. Frank I will post pictures of this unit when Jeff Sohn has completed his part of the creation.

Gee how can it get any better having TWO WONDERFUL CREATIVE PEOPLE TEAM UP ON A PROJECT......Many thanks to BOTH Frank and Jeff.

I like Franks drawings. I would have to vote for the CSX Chessie cat as my favorite, and would work towards my railroad goal. When I get the cash, I would like to have it custom painted for me. There's a lot more of his work that deserves credit. Joe

Good Day Gentlemen,

Thank you for the compliments. I have enjoyed creating the new color schemes. As I have said before, my drawings are colors schemes from the past with an inventive style presented on 21st Century diesel locomotive and rolling stock. Keep an eye out for my imagination at work this fall.

Best Regards,
Frank

I'd like to see some of these on prototypes. Good job, Frank.

Frank is the best at giving you something to look forward to on the forum, he has a great imagination on what the fallen flag roads should or would look like if they were still around, I truly admire Frank's work, a great artist indeed.

Clarification regarding the drawings: I am the original artist. Frank's work involves coloring or modifying the drawings I have created and posted on my site at http://trainiax.net. While I admire the results, they should not have been posted without credit given for them.

Frank does a great job! I wish I could find the E-Mail Frank sent me of the B&M he did. Frank; Can you help me out?

Frank is a true genius when it comes to railroad art. I always look forward in seeing his work on the forum.

Frank, did you have anything to do with the art for the "to be released" LCCA Texas Special SW switcher and calf?

I diffently enjoy his work and i would be honored to have his work grace my train room walls someday.

Frank I got a message today that I will be seeing the GT that you and Ben and I worked on back in the Fall.
