could you do a Wheeling & Lake Erie repaint of the SD40-2?

and a Wheeling & Lake Erie skin for the coal cars?



thanks if you can

Well engines arent my thing, mainly because they take longer than slapping a logo on a rail car. Ill take a whack at it and see if you like it. Im having a hard time coming up with a coal car in W&LE paint mainly just a few 3bay hoppers which the one on RS is a bethgon.

[jamesc25313]

Im coming along on that engine. I got the sides done and all thats left is some shading and the cab and a few other details I hope to have it finished before bedtime!

[jamesc25313]

Heres a few pics this isnt exactly how it will look when finished but an idea.

[peterbilt359x]

WOW!

looking goood man


im trying to make a WLE coal car


can i use MS Paint to paint the cars or not?

[jamesc25313]

Yeah you could but I wouldnt recommend it. All I have is the cab and Im finished. Direct me to some pics of the coal car you want and Ill take a look at them. Those dont take long to do anyway.

im working on my own version of a coal car to see how it looks

but theres a pic if you want to try it out to


:)

[jamesc25313]

Its the best I could do. Not bad for being up almost 24 hours and doing this at the last moment. I hope you like it. If the numbers arent right then you can change them but I got them from the net.

[peterbilt359x]

Wow man that looks good


i did a WLE coal car and its kinda messed up... the ribbing's on the side of it messed up the text any way to fix this?

Might as well do a DRGW unit while you're at it. They are identical. It's just a suggestion. :rolleyes:

[jamesc25313]

Im working on a ES40 in NS paint right now. I seen the DRGW last night while doing my research on the W&LE and thought the same thing. The ES40 is almost finished so I might take a look at it later since Im half way home on the paint.

Wow man that looks good

You have ot layer it. If you email me the car Ill fix it. Windows paint cant layer I dont think but if it can Im sure its probably not easy to do since paint is just a simple paint program. My email is jamesc25313 at yahoo dot com

[peterbilt359x]

im using Paint.net

[jamesc25313]

im using Paint.net

ahhh I see. I dont know exactly how to use layers with that program. YOure painting the default bethgon, right? If the scheme is what you showed me in those pics last night Ill paint one up for ya. It wouldnt take long at all.

[peterbilt359x]

yeah thats what im trying to paint


i could send you the paint file and u could try to layer it in photoshop

[jamesc25313]

yeah just email it to me. Ill fix it

[peterbilt359x]

email sent james

[peterbilt359x]

hey james have you fixed the paint yet?????

no rush im just anxious to see how it looks

[jamesc25313]

Hey I got started on it last night and just had to get some sleep. Im doing 20 things at once right now but I could get the logo layered for you and you could finish it up.

[peterbilt359x]

sure that would be good
