More R&WA motive power

[buzz456]

I agree the one on the right.

One on the right def.

Right one was my choice too. I guess it would make sense considering I sampled that off a Conrail blue color template.

But I just wanted to make sure so thanks for reaffirming my choice guys. If all goes well those Conrails will be done and uploaded to Hawk either tonight or early tomorrow.

[ATSF3814]

And these two are DONE!




Sorry it took a little longer than expected but I caught a pretty nasty case of the stomach flu and it knocked me out for a couple of days, including the 4th of July.

You get a total of 40 of them, road numbers 8520-8559.

Oh yeah, look what you made me do now Chessie

[Chessie8638]

Hehe. Sorry.

Have to pick up all these when available.

Okay, I made a couple more attempts to get Hawk's avatar or some other logo to look good on the nose but it just isn't happening. So I've dropped all logos and images off the nose and I'm just doing good old fashioned tiger stripes:

Now that's looking good! And the Connies and Southern came out great.

[ATSF3814]

It's finally done!



Thank you everyone for the feedback. It was very helpful and I'm really happy with the design changes that you convinced me to do.

So, thanks to H&B's "creative accounting" and EMD's special pricing, H&B was able get 20 of these beasts. Road numbers 2370-2389.

Now, about that used Dash 9 H&B recently acquired



My crew is about to start stripping the old paint off and I'd like some ideas for the new H&B livery.

The Hawk and Badger logo on the nose of the loco, in big letters have RW&A on the side of the loco, and keep the rest of the scheme the same except change the tigerstripes to something more like the "Utah Belt" has on the nose of their units; of course with the logo in the middle this time.

I agree should have mentioned the Utah Belt stripes before.. Anyway, would LOVE some Utah Belt units/rolling stock in Railworks! **hint hint**
That layout has been a inspiration for me ever since I first saw it in Model Railroader.

He he he he, you should just leave Santa Fe blacked out, put the Hawk and Badger logo on the side of the cab. Leave the Warbonnet. R&WA is a budget operation any ways. Love the spray paint.

The other one I was gonna suggest yellow and black zebra stripes, but I'm late to the game (as usual)

[thecanadianrail]

YES, after the RW&A set you should make the Utah Belt set! (be prepared to repaint every loco that is currently in RW then, except for the ES44 and the SD70ACe and M-2)

I love it too. I got the spray paint idea from a picture of one of the Unstoppable locomotives before it got repainted back into CP colors:



I think I'll throw that one in as a bonus with the finished Dash 9 repaint.

Those Utah Belt locomotives look really cool and even better, a really easy repaint to do. All I really need to know is what font they use for the Utah Belt lettering and the numbers.

It seems I'm becoming RW's fantasy/fictional repaint specialist.

[arizonachris]

Well, between you and Mad Mike, I don't think there's a livery that can't be done. Was it you who did an Unstoppable repaint? I don't think we have an AC4400 in RW yet but that would be kinda cool on the C&O. Don't remember where I saw it.

For the more modern locomotives it's Sans-Serif block letters. Older locomotives (GP9, GP40, etc) it would be a "Roman Style" (New Times Roman maybe).
