CSX Heritage Diesel Locomotive Campaign

Good Day,

 

Check out what I posted on the CSX Facebooks. Tell all your friends..............We need to campaign CSX for some real Heritage diesel locomotives! I'll post more heritage units this week!

Doesn't CSX still have "heritage" units roaming the systems from the Chessie System and Family Line days?  I just know that when it came to merging, CSX was very slow to repainting their units.

I suspect he means Heritage units like these ones I painted up for Microsoft Train Simulator years ago...

I had considered submitting those images to CSX back when I did them, but I never did...

My little 4x10' HO layout may be small, and I may not have enough money to make it a masterpiece, but that doesn't make me any less of a modeler!

Yes, an excellent idea.  Union Pacific's campaign has produced some extraordinary, beautiful units.  SP 1996 certainly comes to mind.

Would be great to see CSX units in:  SAL "Citrus" green and yellow, ACL purple and silver, SCL black "Bumblebee", L&N classic cream and blue, Chessie System's yellow and red "color splash" and the RF&P scheme.

Good Day Matt,

I would like ask a favor. Can you please take the drawings in the link below and make them into MSTS Engine drawings? I would be glad to pay you for time and talent in creating the drawings. I have made over 100 different painted drawings in GIF. I would be glad to send you some of the drawings to view. My e-mail address is in my profile.
