I'm building a freelance rr in HO scale and I call it the Carolina Belt RR it was "started" in 1940 and it just bought the Virgina Belt RR in 2005 I need help coming up with a paint scheme for The Carolina Belt (early and new) and a scheme for the Virgina Belt (early and new) any ideas are welcome and the motive fleet is pretty up to date the oldest locomotive being a GP30-2 (its rebuilt with dash 2 eletronics rebuilt in 1992)

how do you guys color the locomotives ns91, You can download drawings from a couple of web sites, I tend to use paintshop.railfan.net for most of the ones I use. I take the drawing into MS Paint and start painting. It's really that simple. Dan |

Ok I have done one in the ACL scheme and I think it looks good..........  Now you can center the silver strip, I just did it like that because I did not want to move the lettering.......I think I would like to change my vote.... |

I've desided to model NS and just have The Carolina Belt remaned into Carolina Locomotive leasing co and use CLLX as my reporting marks
