I see a lot of people have a name for their railroad.

 

After looking over all the beautiful FT shots on Swafford's post in REAL trains forum, I wondered how many people have developed their own paint job.

 

I used to have a program called "paintshed" or something like that, where you could design your own paint scheme on a library of different locos. (2 or 3 computers ago)

 

If you have developed your own unique color/scheme, let's see them.

Well, mine have shown up under old posts of my cabooses on here....cabooses are

reefer (aspen) yellow, as are some coaches, other coaches and freight cars are coach

(spruce) green, as are the custom decals, green ones for yellow cars, yellow ones for

green cars and black tenders and loco cabs.  Stations are yellow with green trim as

are some other railroad structures.  More dirt collecting ones, coaling towers, sand

towers, are black.  Water towers have green tanks and yellow decals.

D&RGW station at junction with Joint LIne main line is two shades of brown...ATSF

station there is yellow and green...and THAT may not be protoypical and require repaint.

 

Custom decals, if you want to call it a "livery". (I'm planning another freelance road

name for generic use, but I haven't come up with it.)

 

"Serious" models:

 

One guess as to the owner of this "subsidiary" -

 

DSCN0074

 

DSCN0205 

And a little less serious (not everything has to be 1:48) -

 

DSCN0096

 

Not-so-serious -

Then there's this...dry transfers on decal paper, then applied as a water-slide decal.

If you know what "kudzu" is, you'll understand. If not, well, let's just say that it's

the only way that I could justify a snowplow/blower here -

This is mine, which is obviously a blatant copy of the UP greyhound scheme.  at the time, i had a Lionmaster Challenger in greyhound and my intent was to change it to my road name.  never got around to it and sold the engine to make room for newer stuff.  it was a sweet loco.

 

this baby is an oldie from when i was a kid.  my dad had it custom painted to UP when he got it (late 50's early 60's?).  i had it upgraded to TMCC by TAS. i don't really run it much.  it is on a siding as part of my crane diorama.
