Could You do a CSX repaint?

Looking good buzz! Before the repaint requests start coming in(too late?), you should release the final blank version to the file library so everyone can do their own reprints. Thanks buzz!

That CSX is sure purty. Just remember I don't take requests. I paint what turns me on. Let me get by this nightmare of the Surfliner and then we'll see. Anyone who wants the plain gray one PM me.

Last i heard, the RSC F40PH's were a pain to repaint.
Now i dont know what to buy, the F40PH or a 9mm M5K for another game (my favorite weapon)
Ugh...

Lots of fussy stuff but at least so far I seem to be able to find everything.

The CSX units recently came through Kingstree, SC, with a short executive train. I thought it was the morning Amtrak and was pleasantly surprised to see the F40s. By the way, the speed limit through Kingstree is 50 mph and these units were doing at least 70! But don't quote me...

Before you upload it, remember this is a family web site.

With great regret I have to give up on this. Some of these guys design this stuff with no thoughts of other paint jobs other than the one they are doing. If they are ever going to put out anything that doesn't have straight horizontal lines this will have to be remodeled. Stuff is used on those still gray ribs multiple times so that if you tried to color them they will be the wrong length on all but one place. Additionall it appears that it is putting things on the side I hadn't done anything with yet. Grrr!

That is the one from the original F40PH. I don't know if it is still around but I can fix you up if you like.

Oh I forgot about that one. I still have it, I think, but the original model is so outdated I don't use it anymore.
I guess I should say I'd like a Via repaint for the RSC F40PH.
