New Haven I5, the logo design is good, but the blue lettering is very hard to see on the black - maybe a lighter blue?  My My 2 cents

Boomer Red: you did such a good job on your loco up there, that I had to blow it up to see if it was a model or a prototype...perfect amount of weathering (makes note to tone down the glopfest of watercolour paints, next session of dirtying things up).

Thanks, here's a few more I hope you like.Big Smile

This is probably the dirtiest engine I've done. It started as a Rail Power Products shell that I custom painted and detailed.

Well, it's late but it's still the weekend.  Not too happy that my Charger's coked, but happy that I got a little farther this weekend on my diorama.

I was able to do a little grass work and some power pole planting (no wires yet).  Looks kind of funny without the wires yet, but it'll look good when all is done.

Here's a shot of what I've done.  As you can see the grass in front and on the bank was just added.

Hey Luke, just a quick note before you print out your logos and paste them to your fleet - you forgot the R in California, and the H in Where.

I do that all the time in photoshop, which is tough when I need it for work...

NH I5 - looks much better.  As to the spelling, you can spell it any way you want - the Gov can't even pronounce it!!!!Whistling

Lou and Jamie, thank you for your kind words! Blush

Garry, I'm sure there are many fine members on this forum with a lot more experience in photo editing than a novice like me. A full translation of the entire Norwegian forum thread is a bit to much to handle with my limited English skills, but I can make a short description of how I edited this particular photo.

New Haven 1-5

If I remember correctly, there are two 'm's in that word.

Nice logo
