which one is the better sceme
Wednesday, December 28, 2011
ok guys here's my problem. My brother and I have done a "what if" on a modern version of the Pacific Electric railway. the one thing we have done is one of every paint sceme (or a slight variation of) the railway has had. Now our newest headache is we are out of schemes but not locomotives! so I put it to the forum as to which P.E. paint scheme is the best...me and my brother have finalized it down to three...
scheme 1:
scheme 2:
Scheme 3: (I call this one "Chicago red")
just me Ray... and just because I have Tyco doesn't mean I am not a model railroader

I like #2 ( middle ) scheme the best. Readable white font, large block number. Gray extends down some from the roof. Overall, a pleasing look.

| I like the second one also. I like the big numbers and the black lower body.

  #2 
I don't have a one track mind. It depends on the turn-out.

Is that a power-trip or just another pick-up line?
