That one took me 2 full days plus this morning to get it "just Right" and capture the spirit of the CB&Q. I wanted to capture the spirit of all four predecessors of the original Burlington Northern Railroad that I grew up with. I was born and raised in Bellingham,WA USA, and I lived two blocks from the BNSF Bellingham Yard. I am old enough to remember the GN and NP EMD F7A's and B's painted in the new BN Evergreen. BNSF will always be my favorite because that is what I grew up with and I wanted to pay homage.Now thats what Im talking about CB&Q. Well done Speedbump.
I'm glad you like her, I wish you could hear the whistles I have on the 999 and 492, but this isn't show of your sound clips.Wow, that 999 looks nice!
Here are some shots of the D4g 492 (4-6-0) with the different tenders I made.
This is with a single white stripe along the bottom (current)
This is the unlined version (as seen in the late 1990s and early 2000s)
And finally, my favorite, as seen during the twilight of CP Steam, gold lettering and gold pin striping.

They should (and probably do) have a tutorail on weatherng ... I'm certain that a all over "Confetti Brush" does not constitute realistic weathering ... like a train had a high speed collision with a manure wagon.
The trucks from 100 railcars ahead, throw up mud, dust, rust, and general grime, during snow and rainstorms, that is deposited darkest near the lower edge of a railcar. Rust is from either flaked aged paint, of from collisions with forklifts ... etc ...
Rust and chemical streaks, stream downward ... Too much weathering looks like someone shot up a railcar with 100,000 brown paintballs
