Hi

The patch has sorted it, thank you. The route is terrific.

Here's some info for anyone interested in repainting some diesel loco's into CVP livery:

The words Columbia Valley Pacific on the locomotive are in the Windows 10 Bahnschrift font, set Bold.

Here are the diesel loco colors I used:

For steam locos and other rolling stock something simpler would be in order using standard railroad fonts.

PS - do we have any Canadian Pacific locos and passenger stock in 1950's livery? I'd like to have a CVP passenger local travel to Panaska to meet the CPR train there.

Well I jumped the gun so I'll go back and fix this but here's a couple of screens of the 0-6-0.

Looks good to me! CVP paint schemes varied wildly through the years - no real standardization. So anything goes.

Thank you for your kind words however I'll try to get this right on the F7. I think it sneaks under the wire time wise.

A little fun in Adams Bay on the CVPR.

I'm working on a steam era maple leaf logo similar to the Canadian National. Need a font to match the roadname.

[harryadkins]

As for the steam locomotive tender, I prefer a simple roadname (see below).

[harryadkins]

I created a steam roster based on the Toronto, Hamilton, & Buffalo Ry. The 4-4-0's were retired in the 1930s. Everything else ran until the diesels arrived in 1959.

4-4-0 12 1-11 Retired 1930s

4-6-0 12 15-26 Needed

2-6-0 3 30-32 Britkits

2-8-0 20 100-119 Smokebox

4-6-2 5 61-65 Britkits

0-6-0 20 40-59 B&LE or Britkits

Am also working on late steam era freight cars from Canadian roads.

The CVP Maple Leaf herald is still a work in progress. What do you think so far?

[wacampbell]

The pics are looking good, thx. And Harry your plans and logo are all going to be a good fit.

[buzz456]

I think it would be more attractive without the underscores perhaps?
