BNSF 4173

[mdurdan]

Here's something different for you! A BNSF remote unit with a brown patch on the nose and heavy weathering. Love it or hate it?






These two shots are really the same shot but with different editing





Here's the prototype picture I used ^
I went a bit heavier on the weathering but I think it looks good, let me know what you think

[mdurdan]

Also I will leave the number as auto number so you can have a few of these without consist error

Nice. Although I don't understand why they painted that nose in brown?

I'll tell you why. Its because of this:




LOL!

LOL! I don't know either, seeing that this is a remote unit, maybe they had to rip out part of the nose to put the remote control or something in?
Intrusting scheme though

[mdurdan]

I may also add more of a red-ish light brown-ish tint to the nose, I'm not quite happy with how this came out yet. I'll keep tweaking it till it's perfect though!

[mdurdan]

Texture update!

Sure is looking better than B4

Unit looks good BNSF Does that becuse most likey it was an a wreck or BNSF is getting ready to repaint it to the H3 Swoosh scheme. Also BNSF doesn't have any C44-9Ws that are Remote. Remote units are for yard service or short loco runs.


Here are some other units like that. Maybe you could do a set of these bad boys

I definitely would like to do a set of them but I'm having trouble separating the re paint from the original as they seem to be different code than the SW1500's and the GP9's I did, as soon as I find out how to separate them though I will release a whole set of them

[BNSF650]

Sounds good. Any news on them SW1500 yet?

Well unfortunately the orange one didn't come out so good but I will come back to that one another time, I will try a few of the others you sent me. Also if you can find some shots of them straight from the side it would be very helpful

[BNSF650]

Yea i sent you a link with some more pics.

Thanks

Eh, looks like the body shop threw a new nose and a few side panels on. Shoot some primer on and wait until they can get it to the paint shed. Gotta keep 'em moving!

4111 could have blown a turbo judging from all that oil on the fuel tank.

Thats all red primer, set to be painted with the finnish color. Either the BNSF is to tight to complete the job, or there is a scheduleing conflict.
Looks like they pulled them out of the paint booth as the painters were mixing the colors.
It does not matter if its road or yard service. The appearence of your engines represent your railroad.
The BNSF should be embarassed to have them in a photo shoot.
