Show off your reskins!

Here is "The Multi-directional Diamond Logo". One of the boxcars has the writing be a bit smaller. Maybe down the line the company will just go with the "CCR" initials but for now the diamond logo with the company's full name will be used. The CCR (not the band) stands for The Canadian Continental Railroad" (formerly known as the OGH Railroad) that has been around since 1888. The CCR changed its name in 1970 and then went back to its original title in early 2023. This is a fictional Class 1 railway. I figure it would be a good idea for the company to change its identity along with the throwback to its original title. The railways former OGH name had Blood Orange livery with Yellow stencils.

Here are the cars with the diamond logo and are available on the DLS. These assets have no texturing on purpose because they are supposed to be new "fresh paints" out of the shops. The pictures are courtesy of Hiawathamr. Dave Snow is the original author and content creator of this asset. I merely reskinned it.

Looking sharp RR70. I think the multi directional diamond logo is my favorite. Looks modern and reminiscent of some other prototype logos but distinct in its own right.

Cheers

Agreed, people have to lighten up a bit!
Funny you that, I've been saying that for years on here and it's always the same I stop caring and pay no mind to them types.
BTW I enjoy your progress works nice to see your growing into an exemplary community member!

Thanks for the critique and encouragement Walter. Still working on the locomotive livery and color scheme. It's a toss up between Scarlet locomotives, Gold across the top long-hood and Amber stencils over Silver trucks --- or a Dark Burgundy/Black Cherry look with Scarlet as well as Amber stencils, Silver across the top of the long-hood and Silver trucks. I suppose I could release both onto the DLS and see which one gets the most hits over a 90 day probation period thus making a decision. But I think I'll release only one of them.

Or you could share the different variations here : -) I'm sure the other folks who post to this thread could help give some useful feedback. Always fun to see others paint schemes.

Yeah that makes sense. I'll get to it as soon as I can. Thanks for the input Walter.

Here are two different paintscheme ideas I plan to release to the DLS. The first is the CCR (Canadian Continental Railroad) "Kodachrome" that was inspired by the SPSF design (although my version does have differences of course). And the second paint-scheme is a throwback to a 1920 to 1940 "Black Cherry" aka "Dark Burgundy" paintscheme the railroad had (but in this H2 version it has 21st century highlights of course).

Here is the CCR version of the Kodachrome:
