Neat. The Rock is a pretty old fallen flag then. It would be cool to paint a ES44AC or SD70ACe in those colors. Personally I like the NS Heritage paint scheme better. But it would be cool to have all three paint schemes on modern locos. I wish I was good at painting so I could do that.

That boxcar is really nice. The Durango scheme appears to look great on any piece of equipment. I wouldn't mind taking a shot at painting a 430 or F unit in Durango but there's no decals for the Durango logo.

For my Pine Hill Lumber project that I did a couple years ago, I used white inkjet decal paper. I photoshopped the decals, then printed them onto the decal paper. It worked great. I'm sure that the Durango theme would work well using the same technique.
Here is a link to the project and a couple of photos.

One of the mysteries to me is Tyco's painting of the C430 for many railroads in the USA, of which only one actually had them. Wouldn't it have been nice to see one in Reading green and yellow, or Seaboard Coast Line?

Durango passenger train "The Plainsman"
Original post by Dan Mack.
Great idea for anyone who is thinking about painting their old and scratched items.

Have you looked into an external hard drive that plugs into your USB port? You can get alot of storage for a hundred bucks or so, and move all your photos there.

Thanks, good idea. I am rather ignorant of computers and their devices. I am trying to delete
old or empty files, and found that not very helpful, so paid up and bought more Cloud storage
space, whatever the Heck that is. Will be posting soon, I hope.

hey found this one on the FB page called Idiots of Railfanning
a few more I saved
think the chrome is fantasy? its not
next pic I would LOVE to get in HO!
this is one of the odd ducks in the Hot Wheels Railroad trains they had made
yeah I had this one as a kid too lots of fun
these were N scale bodies with trucks that fitted HO tracks
now this one I'd do The Rock on one side & the other side with Route Rock
number would be 1980 the year it "crumbled"
yeah I got crazy ideas but this IS what this page is for
now I never have seen a A&P train set tho
