I have a quick question,

Hello,
Sorry to bug yall, but I was just wondering if there is some kind of software that I could use to come up with custome Paint schemes.
I would try to draw but I am not an artist. Also I would like to get an idea of what a paticular paint scheme would look like before going through with it.
Well thanks for the help,
Josh.

Josh, they were discussing this a little on Model Rail Cast last week. I'd recommend what they suggested, to search for standard paint schemes from GE/EMD/Alco, ect, since they pretty much "invented" most early schemes that were later drawn from.
