Railworks America

While browsing a Southern Pacific modeling forum I came across these "Fantasy Heritage Units" which are SD70ACe's. They're "what if's" if Southern Pacific merged with Union Pacific (plus all the railroad UP merged with), instead of the other way around. It might be fun if someone attempted these (in their free time of course). I have still yet to learn to repaint , might have to figure it out and try my hand at these units. They feature a classic scheme of the railroad they are representing and also feature a tribute to that railroads famous passenger train (IE "The Eagle" for the MP, "California Zephyr" for WP, " The 400" for the CNW, etc) I know we (most of?) all are trying to go for realism in Railworks, but who says we can't have some fun also!

The ones above are further down in the thread.

If anyone finds anymore fantasy units (Doesn't matter what railroad), go ahead and post them.

Did some searching and found this. Some BNSF heritage units:

Though they're not really stylized schemes, just the railroad's regular paint applied to an SD70ACe. Still would look pretty cool though.

Eventually, I'd also like to see the GP59 that Norfolk Southern specially painted to commemorate what would have been the Southern Railway's 100th anniversary:

I really ike "the Eagle" paint scheme.

Thanks for the nice words on the SD70ACe's I painted. I am no where near the caliber of work you guys do on here but I am glad someone likes these units. I am painting some up for a modeler so he can use them as a guide for his HO SD70ACe's.
