Hi there was wondering what colors I should paint my locomotives as I'm making my own railroad and can't decide any input would be greatly appreciated.
Thankyou.
Thankyou.
I designed an arrowhead scheme with dark green and chrome yellow for freight, same dark green with silver for passenger. Used it on my paper railroad for almost a decade. It looked great on paper. THEN I started painting real equipment. The freight scheme looked like crayola crayon boxes. I've abandon that scheme and those colors.Hi there was wondering what colors I should paint my locomotives as I'm making my own railroad and can't decide any input would be greatly appreciated.
