On my freelamced Bunker Hill & Eastern, the owners had a program to upgrade the looks of their boxcars. The "traditional" brown boxcar is on the upper right. After WW II, managment decided the fleet needed a better look, and boxcars were painted blue but kept the original lettering. IN the early 50s, an experimental color scheme was tried changing the font from Roman to Gothic, the door painted white, and a BHE logo replacing the name spelled out

Well, here's my logo for the AustinVille & Dynamite City RR.  I also have a picture of all the "family" Logos I designed for the AustinVille area.  Remind me share it at some point.  I created a whole history for it, ending in the modern era with two railroads....Penndot Railway (Commuter/Regional passenger), and the Southwestern Pennsylvania Transportation Corp (Freight service).  The AV&DC has one single 2-8-0 consolidation that does passenger service, and another old locomotive used for freight service to the PRR transfer yard in Austinville.

 

 

 

I just actually designed it last night.

I have been working on a name for my RR for a few years. I was going to go with an updated version of a fallen flag but found that there is a newer railroad by the same name (Allegheny Valley). So have have freelanced a new name and have been working on a logo. Here it is:

I like the Iron Belt logo. Here is the BRVRR logo and the livery too. The logo has been part of my signature for a long time.

My favorite part is trying to make my photographs look real. For example:

A close second is running steam, and a third is designing new fictional paintschemes.  Show me an original livery you designed, or a model railroader designed.

Karl,I have too many thumbs to manage the beautiful installs you do with very small HO engines,so I'm experimenting with On3.  Lots of room in here! HO still rules the basement,but someday...

Show me your favorite part of the hobby(scenery,scratchbuilding,operations,whatever).

I found this difficullt to get the rust looking correct, and to actually tie down the load with yarn.

 

Show me something else scrapped/abandoned.

I found this Tichy tank car difficult because of the many small plactic parts that kept breaking. I ended up replacing some with brass wire just so that I could handle it without busting something else.

Wifey got this Kato WC last year for Christmas.  I could always use more Kato's!
