Whilst working on my Southeastern Wisconsin route, I've been working on some repaints that will fit the local scene. The CP runs a good number of lease and DME/ICE SD40's around so I felt like repainting some of them. Some can be seen in my "SE Wisconsin" thread, but I figured I'd compile them here. Just got back into 'em recently and plan to keep going if people are interested. Please critique them!

Them are really nice. Any chance of doing some BN Whiteface leasers ? and also FURX?

Those look Excellent! shicoe. Just excellent!

My critique is: Awesome! Very nice collored fleet, will look intersting in Route and its scenarios!

The DME And ICE look way too purple based on photos. The others look awesome, you should do more of the ex UP/BN units, lots of leasers own locomotives in those schemes.

Finished off 2 more Icicles, and tweaked the colors on the other two. Look any better to y'all?

Fixed first two:


Two newest additions:


The quartet hanging out:


The foursome working together

good to go to file library

Colour saturation is often a problem, especially with LCD computer monitors of now.

Railroad locomotives hardly ever come in fully saturated colours, mostly they are bleached by the sun and weathered with a little dirt, dust and rust here and there.
Take a look at the prototype NS Heritage Fleet which is released now and is still in spin-'n-span condition:http://www.nscorp.com/nscportal/nscorp/Community/Heritage%20Locomotives/

Yours are older locomotives, often in their second life. In my opinion you should apply a subtle "whitewash" with a lighter shade of the base colour to tone the colour's "contrast" down a little and make them blend if you don't want to weather your locos, which is an art in itself.

Other than that, they are very welcome and a nice addition to our rosters as these locos can be run over every route.
