SLRR ordered 60 of these 2-10-2s, most with cast iron plows and/or smoke deflectors. Gotta go for that all black, too!

Three for three.



a) LWP freight TUEU, Tulsa, Oklahoma to Euclid Avenue Yard,
Lewiston, Missouri sails downhill into Pamona, eastbound.

b) Amtrak's Southern Star from Chicago, Illinois to Houston, Texas
accelerates uphill though rural Clodel, Missouri on the LWP.

c) On the dot, 1800, the westbound Javelin to Dallas blasts out of
Pamona, Missouri, with four SD45Mu's ready to tackle any hill
in the hotshots way.

the Railroad has decided that plain black 2-10-2s were not what they wanted to see, so they sent the first one to the paint shop for a makeover such as the 2715 in her Southern based dress which is seen here going to the mine to load coal with 8 hoppers trailing now she and her other sister locomotives of the same wheel arrangement look better than before.
 
Loving the shots, everyone.

escd84, man, those are neat screenshots! It somewhat has a railfanning look to it.

I would like to see a good "railfan" sequence, where someone lines up their favorite consists to parade past a particular scenic spot, perhaps from both directions, and capturing screenshots from that single location. That would be a neat way to present your livery in a realistic way. Of course, you might have to limit your choices to the best of your livery to not flood this thread!
 
The bi-daily F&W coal train rolls through Emily Bay, while RS-18u #186 rests on the NS Connection with 5 loads of ballast headed to the port later in the day

 
Felixville & Western Train #3 waits just outside the entrance to the Cage Valley to be loaded as an NS manifest rolls past on the high line

 
Which trucks (bogies) did you use on your conversion?
It's one of JR's SD40 trucks, but I also had to raise the loco, and therefore, I also had to replace the couplers so that everything would be "right", and look "right".:cool:

But hey, it's just a fictional "rebuild" and nothing really serious, I have seen small engines ride on SD trucks (like the one in jordan412's movie), so I took the closest engine I had, and it was the ML-8. LOL :hehe:.

Thanks for the feedback guys! For those wondering, the route pictured in my shots is my Anywhere Ohio V2 route, which will eventually be released over at USLW. The CSX coaches were just a quick, inaccurate reskin of Magicland's PRR P85A coach, made simply to give the F40PHs something to pull. The CSX AC4400CWs are just the Digital Roundhouse models with modified colors. I can't upload the modified version, but I can provide the RGB color codes I used if you wish to modify the colors yourself:

YN2 Blue: R = 42, G = 66, B = 102
YN2 Yellow: R = 202, G = 179, B = 67
YN2 Grey: R = 121, G = 117, B = 114

Also, nice shots everyone else!
Is the anywhere Ohio V2 still going to be released? It's really cool!
