Should be out soon....
 
Looks great, my only criticism is that the nose logo is a little too high. It looks like it might be a little large also.

I will weather this one for you, however.

I have a question for you, are you doing the other schemes? I have a circus one almost complete but have not started a fireball one yet.

I have worked with the nose herald a bit. That curved surface really stretches things......

I am trying to line it up as per the prototype. I have a copy of Western Maryland Diesels, it really helped me get things where they belonged.

Let me know which way you want to number the Circus ones , Prior to Chessie System or Post Chessie..

Post Chessie was in the 7xxx series, maybe one of us can do the Pre Chessie numbers, and the other can do post Chessie?

If you want to do both series, go ahead. I can always cover the fireball one, I can always redo the current one I have to make the Fireball scheme easily. Conversly, I could give the circus ones a shot with different numbers than the ones you are doing. I don't see anyone crying about having TOO many units for a route. Given enough time, I think JRfolco will have the whole WM modeled (WIN!)... gonna need a lot of engines.....

Whats important to me is to increase the availability of road names and numbers to users so that it might attract more users. Availability of someones favorite road could mean more route builders.....Part of the appeal (in my mind) of MSTS today is the availability of different schemes, models, and routes.

There are more than enough paint jobs to do to make all of us happy....

For example, you mentioned doing a Wabash skin. Would that be the Bluebird paint scheme, or the blue , gray and gold stripe one?

I don't know, the one with the same gray top as on the N&W one.
 
Looks good, but the speed lettering on the front needs some work, seems stretched - too far from wings. Use my sig pic as a reference if you want:p Other than that, great!

Yeah, it did ned a little work. I sat down with "Western Maryland Diesels" and played wth it, its much better now,,,,,,,
