That PRR unit looks nice. Another fine example in the fleet.

Nice!
PRR green would have been even better, especially if that thing hauls freight.

Very nice scheme, simple yet elegant.

Then we are truly screwed! !DUH!

Although I never knew that railroad existed, I really like that paint scheme. I think it would have looked better though in a 70Ace.

Half these Southern railroads I've never heard of. But this is the must obscure one yet.

Looks like they installed a wood stove in the cab.

Dramatic lighting in that first pic, like O. Winston Link in colour. Like with Georgia Thunder, how do they manage to capture a unit so well, even artistic?

Interesting how the uppermost black stripe is bent around the nose and sloping nose top in the second pic.

That will be tough to paint. I was planing on doing this one we'll see. I do like it. Should be my last one.

It looks like they cheated a little in the paint shop. The strips seem equally wide all around, hence the perspective distortion. Only a top pic will make the decoration over the nose top clear. They could have used stick-on strips or decals even.

A constant width should make your job a little easier, I think.

Anyway, your repaints do look very good. Thank you very much for your trouble in getting them out so soon and so well. *!!thnx!!*
