Here is the before and after versions of MORR 3391, an SD24. This is one of the first locomotives i painted and i just re-did it last night

I like the look of those units

I started drawing this a long time ago. I got this far and lost my photograph. I went back K&WVR to take more photographs and the loco was in bits

Yeah right...

Yeah right...

You can paint a Trainiax drawing...... if you can do that, you can paint a locomotive! Go for it!

Finished a new set of schemes:

Sort of combined a couple of my roadnames on this one... Maybe I can sorta focus now...

So, the road died in 1985?

The MKT in Sedalia, Mo.

I haven't decided yet

 

[simulatortrain]

That your MKT painting?

 

[SD45T-2]

Oh good then. It's a really nice paint scheme.

 

[Jrrrail]

Great paint scheme!

Yes it is. The artist was commissioned for the painting to help restore the depot in the early 90's. I picked up a print recently from a customer of mine that owns a printing company and still owns the original. The pic I posted isn't the best because of the reflection of the frame I put it in.

I like the evolution of the Coal River logo and name on those locos. They really reflect the transition from those gigantic geographical route names to a catchy memorable one.

I'm sure it was bought by CSX..... otherwise, there'd be an NS Heritage Unit! :hehe:

Seriously, great job & great paintings! I second the motion.... I love the logo too, and the whole evolution of the schemes. Maybe you need to make some of these! Hell, maybe you can even use Dragonharh's BQ23-7's! (Go ahead......I opened the door!)

I've been thinking about doing some of them, I've already done some F7s in this scheme, but in another roadname. And the RS1, well, you know... (Long story short, I combined the identities of two different lines into the CCCR&W.)

I've had a few different ideas on what eventually happened to the road, but I haven't been able to come up with something I'm entirely happy with. I'm open to suggestions, and nothing's saying it isn't still around as a regional.

Lots of great short lines out there..... nothing wrong with it still being in service!

That road just gave me a Idea.

I have a few ideas for the death of CCCR&W.

What website did those units come from? I haven't found them on Trainiax

He modded them so they would work for him.
