Swafford Series………presenting Heritage ES44AC’s Drawings and more!

Hello nice work. I am parcel to the Mopac and T&P . The mopac screaming eagle is a winner. The T & P would look better in the early freight scheme of Swamp Holly Orange and black with Diamond Heralds. A similar adaptation

Marty

Swafford, once again outstanding work.

The CG&W is awesome as is the Katy.

The Mopac is nice, but I like the red buzz saw hearld on the cab and the twin nose stripes of old. 

I agree with Marty, like the T&P swamp holly orange/black scheme.

Again, thanks for sharing your vision,

Dan 

I like 'em. They should have done the SP SD70ACe in your scheme -- either one works. The only one missing is CNW in the freight scheme they used on their F-units.

How about the failed merger, since UP was a big player in stopping it.

Now these are fantastic!!  I would like to have one of each....WOW!

Thanks,

Alan

How about SSW?

Frank....

Thank you for the mockup of a Twin Lakes Central paint scheme.  I really like the lightening stripe which looks very much like the NYC!!!

Now...it sure would look even better if that nice Mid America 3-Railers logo was in your signature!!!......  (you too Bill..)

Alan

Hi Alan, 

Twin Lakes Central corp headquarters!

Swafford,

Any chance that you might do a Raritan River Railroad "heritage" scheme?  Pretty simple, red with a gray stripe and the Raritan River logo.

Good Day Dave,

Presenting the Raritan River SD70ACe. What type of font are you looking for in the logo?

Frank that is looking good.

Those CN Gunderson stacks are amazing.  The whole CN line would cause financial harm if all of those were to be made.

Nice stuff. 

David

Hi Bill, 

Another CN 5161 Hopper.................

Frank

Wow Frank, I want that one too...so cool.

Beautiful job on those CN stacks and Alan's Twin Lakes diesel is neat.

FRANK, THE 5161 LOOKS PRETTY COOL

David, Frank did the $ harm to me when he did the GT/CN Hertige Dash8's AND i HAD TO HAVE 2 OF THEM...wow glad i did it!!

Hi Bill, 

One more idea.............

Regards, 

Frank

Frank I will have to think about this one.

Hi Bill,

I know what you mean. It is busy!

How about these?

Regards,

Frank 

Swafford,

That really looks great.  Here is the original logo used on the former RRRR SW900s.

Frank, I will post the GT/cn engine and the IC that I really like. The I will do the hopper cars.

The Chicago Great Western looks great. 

Frank, This version of the CN Heritage series is my favorite. Your original drawing up at the top is quite close to the finished product.

I like the use of the stripes on the front, rear and the cooling unit sides up high on the rear.

Also, When Jeff created the actual model he located the crossed American & Canadian Flags just after the GT LOGO and that really adds a very NICE INTERNATIONAL touch to this series and makes it more unique.

You and Ben(bluelinec4) sure gave Jeff Sohn a GREAT GIDE to work his magic on these units for me.

Thanks to all for your help.

Hi Bill, 

Here are some drawings that I painted last year.

Regards,

Frank 

Frank, I think that these would be the next units I would have made up. I lean more toward the TOP UNIT with the ic logo rather than spelling it out BUT IT is a VERY hard choice for me.

The hopper cars are a little harder for me to select than the Diesels.

For the GT Hopprt car I do like the black one here shown first. Hower if the BLUE color in the second drawing was a little closer to the GT BLUE I might like it the best.

For the IC Hopper car I think I like the same black body with the orange and white stripes like you have in picture #3 but maybe with the LOGO INSIDE THE WHITE STRIPE.

Maybe do two cars one with the last logo and one with the next to last.logo.

Thanks Frank looking forward to seeing those.  

I love these, Frank!  Where do I sent the check!!

Mike SSHHHHHH lets not spoil Frank with checks. I would owe him a BUNDEL
