Looking For A Repainter

[LWVRR]

Not sure where to post this so I posted it here. I'm in need of a repainter for the Laurel Line Project. I'm looking for someone to update and repaint locomotives that are from the 1946-1950 era. This would mean late steam engines and early diesels from the following railroads: DL&W (Lackawanna), Erie and the Lehigh Valley. Why these three railroads? The Laurel Line had a connection with all three railroads and these repaints will be a part of Laurel Line layout sessions down the road. I only ask that they are updated to TS2010 standards. Passanger cars, cabooses and ROW cars may be needed too.
If you are interested or have questions, post them here.

I can do some DL&W and Erie stuff, but not now. I need to get my CPU back.

There is no rush on this, I still haven't started the new layout yet. I'm just looking ahead at this point.

Wow, I really expected more inquirers with this post. I guess not.

Well I could try...but super real results are not promised!

Just out of interest, which locomotive and rolling stock assets are you proposing for reskinning?

Somehow I missed this thread the first time around last week and am just seeing it now.

I'm not a steam person, so I can't help you there. As far as "early diesels", what are you looking for? I could do some JR F's for you, and I know that the RS-3, RSD-4, and RSD-5's are available for reskinning, thanks to Chris's (N8PHU) hard work. Ben Neal's SD7/9's are available to be reskinned too.

I know that Chris has also upgraded and made available Frank's (Sporbust) Airslide hoppers ACF 2-bay hoppers, and Conn McCarthy's PS2 hoppers that are reskinnable. Likewise with PRJindigo's funnel flow tankers. I've done some of McHawkman's 50' boxcars. I'm not really sure what fits in with that era, though. I've got my 42' gondola that would probably be appropriate, too.

Most of what I've done have been 1970's-1980's stuff, but I'm game to do some repaints for you. I'm not terribly familiar with the era, so I really don't know what to do, but point me to what you want, and I'd be glad to help. I've been extraordinarily busy this semester (bit off more than I can chew in school this tie around) but after the end of April, I should have more time.

I really need to make a list...off the top of my head F7A & B's Lehigh Valley and Lackawanna (before merger with Erie). Personally, I'd like to see some named trains like the Black Diamond or Phoebe Snow. I really surprised that the payware guys haven't taking that idea and ran with it. Even someone as stingy with money like me would open my wallet for that.

I'd also like to see an updated version of the Lackawanna 44-tonner #51
also a Lackawanna SW-1 or NW-2 Or Lehigh Valley NW-2
A Erie FA-1/FB-1...if anybody has ever made these in Trainz????
Any late steam from these three rairloads.

@LWVRR: FYI FAs are available as freeware from RRMods. I think they may be involved in the current unpleasantness there, but you may want to look into them after all of the dust settles. I think they are by ANL. I got them a while back and they're quite good.

If you are referring to this one, then yes, I have seen it. It's a very nice model! :Y: I would love to see some repaints of this unit.
