The Boys in Madison are gonna be busy!!

[enjineerbill]

Dateline Madison.....

After roughly 4 hours of cocktails at the local watering hole, The suits in Madison have come up with the new scheme for the fledgling M.C.o.W. Ry.
It took more than 30 rum and cokes, but an agreement was reached on the following design....

The sad part is there were only two people at the watering hole involved in this executive decision .

The next step will be convincing the shops that there was NO alchohol involved in the process. A difficult task at best!

That's a smart colour scheme Johnny, very smart

 

[rhoward]

Ooooo! I like, I like! Think of what you could have accomplished if you were drinking Southern Comfort Manhattens...... (Or as a now deceased old friend of mine used to call them - Smash-hattens!)

 

[IronBeltKen]

Sweet, Johnny! But tell me...which part is the rum, and which is the coke?

Nah, just blame it on - what else - Mad Cow disease!

 

[grande man]

Ooooooooh, I like it. Red looks great on locos.

 

[4Starcstms]

Im with the rest of em, I like it too. Doesnt look to be To hard to paint. You gonna get decals done for the lettering&Logo?

 

[enjineerbill]

Steve Thanks man!!

Ray I believe I have had a "smash-Hatten" once.

Ken Can't remember which is which , but I'll review the police report

Grande It does and for those who are fans of the WSOR, It was the basic inspiration.

Scott I did it that way for the simplicity of painting. I am planing on getting the decals made, but would be open to suggestions on who to do them.

I was just wondering if you couldnt get your local sign shop to cut you a vinyl mask and paint the cow and logo's black while you had ur airbrush out painted the rest of the loco? Course this will complicate things slightly. Decals would be easier thou

WOW, can't wait to see the CNW's start to dissapear (oh wait...)... Looks awsome Johnny!

Yeh, that would be WAY too complicated for simpleton like me
, I think I'll just have someone do the decals and be done with it.

Ah, Nothin' but the best.........Thanks Rex!

I can't wait to get moved(end of August), so I can get to paintining them up! Quite a departure from the CNW but some will escape the mighty airbrushing giant.
