Looking for UP Big Boy reskin

Unread postby billy » Sat Apr 04, 2015 8:35 pm

I was going to do some testing with this locomotive and was wondering if anybody knew of a nice re-skin /re-paint that might be out there some place.

Thanks in advance. !!howdy!!

I would love a GN Bigboy!

Maybe even a NP one.

The only thing that would even be remotely-sorta-not-really close would be a DMIR yelly.


Although I did once upon a time fantasize what one would look like dressed up in Rio Grande, both in flying Grande w/ black jacket and toilet bowl w/ dark green jacket. Ah to be young again....

One idea would be a more weathered/rusty Big Boy like this one:

How can a fictional re-paint have something forgotten?

Ahhhh come on Buzz.
You know that's what 4014 is going to look like when the Steam Crew at U.P. is done with him. Except for the Oil Tender like his two little sisters.
Maybe they won't white wall the wheels but I wouldn't bet on that.

However this isn't from the Steam Crew at UP. This sprung from the fevered brow of Joe XDriver steam re-painter extraordinaire.
