More Trains in the woods please.

 

Here's part of a train song I wrote when I was a young lad.

Well I love the freight line, and how it cuts its way

Through the heart of a wilderness on an autumn day

By the edge of a winding river, and down on through the flat

From the sidedoors of a boxcar, I ain't never seen a sight like that

Eating up the miles...

Well, since 99% of my roster is painted and lettered by me, I could just go on and on with this theme. 

Me too. I use to get undecorated kit's for "dirt cheap" so I learnd early in my life to do it myself.

My Eastern car work's depressed center flatcar ( I built 8 of these... so far...)

More " Hey, I painted it myself" picture's please.

I might as well show another of my favorites. These are decals again from a very early trade. I probably acquired these decals back in the 1980s.

.

I made the logo using an Identification Roundel from a 1/48 decal set for a Spanish BF-109.

Show me another freight car that you painted and lettered yourself.

Please show me something you "lettered the HARD way" ( one letter or section's of a logo you did one letter at a time.)

.

No problem Timmy. I have lettered dozens of cars one letter at a time, but this one had the longest roadname of any of them. What was I thinking? And... there was really no reason to add "RAILWAY" to ther end of it.

Show me another freight car that you painted and decalled yourself.

I'm gonna figure Don wanted to stay with "Western Railroad's".

Here's my Wyler's Gulch & Western  Baldwin AS 616 .

( It must be a Western Railroad .... It's got "Western" in the name ... Right ??? )

BTW: it still under construction so you may notice some part's are not there...

I lettered this By first putting the Black letter's on first .... One letter at a time.

I then followed up by putting the White letter's on ... One letter at a time.

Please show me something you "lettered the HARD way" ( one letter or section's of a logo you did one letter at a time.)

I have also been known to do lube and car data, one letter at a time.... do you know how "Maddening" that can be ???  Those letter's are  T I N Y !

Here is a little of both, a loco and rolling stock from the Union Pacific. Changer #3985 rounds a curve at the west end of the BRVRR layout with a short excursion train.

More Western roads please.

Please show me a locomotive or rolling stock from a western railroad.

I had to Google this to be sure, but it turns out the Great Northern did go all the way to the Pacific.

.

Here is a trio of GN F units on the North Georgia Modu-Rail sectional layout.

Show me more equipment from Western Railroads.
