Oh boy does it ever. In this paint scheme I have another 90mac Railpower products but it didn't come out as well. I also have a Dash 9 with this paint scheme. But following the old Rock ways I have a total of 6 different paint schemes from the original to different shades of blue to the original. All with a big R. These are my pride and joys. All 17 and more on the way. Oh and it's HO.


Thanks,
Jeremy

Wow, that's really great looking! It would be really neat to have two or three together pulling a train. Keep up the good work!

Thanks,

Please explain.



I went to www.hpphoto.com: home became a memeber(it's free).It's hard to put in words exactly what I did cuz i t took me along time to figure it out. I'm not good with these computer things.



I make my photos by doing the following:
Insert scanned photo to "My Documents"
Click the image botton(the yellow one to the right of the e-mail botton
Then type between the "img" symbols C:/My Documents
Then type after that the pictures name (i.e. anyphoto)
Then type down ".jpg" (or any other ending) The result should say
"C:\My Documents\anyphoto"
Click "preview" to make sure the photo is there

I put one of my photo on the bottom to show what the finished photo should look like (click to view in a larger size).

That looks great. I just wish I could paint like that! The Rock Island scheme suits the loco amazingly well. I've always had a soft spot for the old Blue/white paint scheme - does anyone know if any locos are available RTR in this scheme? I have a Bachmann U36B in N in this paint scheme, but nothing in HO.

The red pinstriping is a nice touch. (Histroically, Rock Island had red paint schemes.) The prototype should have done this.

Nice job !

My SD90s are factory painted for UP mainly because I'm not sure I would succeed the way you did. I don't care if there is no Rock Island anymore 'cause you brought it up into your own future ! Congratulations.

That's a good looking locomotive. The color scheme looks great on it. It's a shame that some folks have forgotten that it's a hobby and that it's supposed to be fun.
Keep having fun,
Tom Watkins
