Could you do a couple of TC's. Maybe and F3 and a GP7?

[Noel]

I did a GP9 and an F3. I know the F3 paint is flopped, but I think it looks better that way.

[mapitts]

Super! Can you do an SD7 or SD9. What would a GP40 look like? The bottom of the stripe with the "Tennessee Central" should just clear the top of the handrail on the long hood. TC also had a Red & tan scheme on their FA1's Just the same as the F unit but with a Maroonish top and a sand colored bottom. Give up yet?

[Noel]

I was tired when I did this one. I just put a logo and number on it because the name on the stripe wouldn't have been vsisble.

Working too hard? Don't let all of my "requests" ruin the fun of it. I am thinking I am overloading you. Since the TC was a really broke railroad, the paint work is really more like they would have had. Interesting to see. Most people do not even know the TC existed. Studied it a lot. They were an all ALCO bridge line that had to deal with some really tough terrain. They had a couple of ex- N&W Z1A's ( 2-6-6-2 ) for pusher service. An SD9 in TC paint is interesting to see. Take a break! Thanks for all that you have done. I know I have asked for some odd ball stuff.

[Noel]

No. It's not the many requests. I have been sick the past few days with the cold. I can still do this.

P.S. Did you mention a Maroon and Sand F3 you wanted?

Let's go modern. What would an SD40 have looked like in TC black and white? Remember that in the mid to late 60's they were broke & borrowing money from L&N. TC ceased operation in 1969. One C420 survives today on the Apache RR. The FA /FB 1's the TC had looked good in the red & sand. The RS3's looked almost as good. The F3 you painted looks very nice!

Tennessee Central SD40 0810 was bought off of the Pennsylvania Railroad. It looks good.

[Noel]

Dunno why I did this one. I guess I wasn't thinking. It did take a long time though.
EDIT: *Locomotive removed for inappropriate logo*

Nice! Thinking of what should be next? Maybe a CSX "heritage" TC ES44, or a CSX "heritage" NC & StL ES44?

[Noel]

CSX Heritage TC ES44AC? Four words: Heck to the yes!
