Equipment to add to the site: Flexi-Van intermodal flatcars and "vans". Equipment was pioneered by NYC. Many cars ran under Merchants Dispatch marks (MFVX). ATSF, MILW, & IC also used smaller numbers of the equipment. I am especially interested in the Mark IV version of the cars, and the vans that were leased to PRR in 1967.

Other comments: Hi! I copied one of your steam locamotives last night to my paint program and my 5 year old daughter won't let me back on the computer as she "paints" the locamotive and tender. So when I finaly got back on the computer and found your page again I copied 3 more and the Depot for her to paint. What a great Idea and Page. I won't give out any of these drawings but I will give your Page address to others. It is a sure way to get others interested in these machines. Good Work! and Thanks!

Other comments: I'm a special education school bus driver in Texas. I get the kids to color a drawing for me every week or so. My aide judges the pictures and each child gets an award. I will try to e-mail some of them as I get time. I know its odd, but the kids love to color the locomotives. The BNSF goes through town and they love it when I have to stop at the crossing.

Other comments: I just wanted to tell you that I had had so much fun at your site last night.... My son has cancer, he is five and he has met a gentleman at the hospital that volunteers his time to bring the his joy of model trains to the kids at clinic and on the ward.... he has a portable set up that he and the engineers at the hospital have been able to put on wheels, so that he can take it right into the children's rooms (as they are usually in isolation if they are hospitalized)..... he also wheels the set right into clinic some days.... Andrew has become quite interested in "Papa's" trains and looks forward to seeing him every Tues. I will show Andrew your site when he gets home from school, He will love to color the trains!
Here is his picture. Just a note to go with the picture... this was taken in Dec of 1999. Andrew has since had a feeding tube in his tummy to help supplement his diet... he has gained three pounds and has become so much stronger that he was able to return to school two weeks ago! his prognoses is 80% cure and we are very encouraged by his maturity and strength.... Thanks again.

Equipment to add to the site: I would appreciate to see some 0-3-0 "cowcatcher" from the "old days".
Other comments: I found the Paintshop site when I exchanged E-passes with some of my RR-friends. I have used many hours so far (my wife too) to study all materials and links on this site. It is most valuable for us modeler to see correct drawings of e.g. engines when it comes to painting. To the latest contest -bnsfcontest - I have delivered some paintings, a very fun experience, especially after that I have installed a rather good program, the Paint Shop Pro 6. Keep on with the terrific service.

I have a ficticious car manufacturing and rebuilding (anything railroad related pretty much) company I call R.K. Industries. I enjoy scratchbuilding my own rolling stock (flat cars mostly) and was interested the moment I saw the link to this site. Going to take a peek!

Other comments: I love the Railroad Paint Shop web site. I noticed that you have drawings for several "what-if" locomotives. I've long wondered what it would have looked like if EMD had crossed an F7 with an SD7 to come up with a six-axle F-Unit. I think it would have been intended for passenger service on railroads with mountainous routes such as GN, NP and maybe SP. The longer carbody would provide more room for boiler water (perhaps a second steam generator), while the extra powered axles would come in handy on the grades.

Name: Caroline Scannell
Date: November 13, 1999
Equipment to add to the site: Actually, I live on the Long Island Rail Road (that is, I spend more time on the train commuting to and from work than I spend at home). But I don't know what kind of engine these old diesels have. So I don't know what I'm looking for. I think they're Alcos but not sure. Anyway, I hear that on Monday (11/15) they will be replaced with new diesel equipment by Kawasaki. I'm always looking for train art to "steal". Especially since the train stamps came out this year (I'm a philatelist, thus my e-mail of philate) and I like the RPO on this page best!

Equipment to add to the site: I am looking for a good drawing (any scale) of the CN Safety Cab, both sides, front and top, as applied to SD40-2's. I can do the math that converts it to 1/29. I' m building new cabs for the Aristo G Scale units due out in the spring.
Other comments: Good Morning. You might provide outline drawings of various diesels, front and side GP-9 for example, for your paint scheme submissions. I have used the same scheme on my Winter Valley diesels for over 25 years, and it is well known in various circles, however I don't have access to a good outline drawing that I can use.

Other comments: If you'll allow me to say some more things, your drawings feature more details than I've ever seen. I particularly(?) love the Wine continuous lading strip on the Evans typ 3 gon. In regards to the freight cars, whatever new ones that you do, The Rock will have one!

Other comments: Hi Mr. Moldover. I have been an HO model railroader for close to forty years. I found your web site about two months ago. Recently, I decided to repaint some locomotives, and rolling stock, for the year 2000 Y2k thing. I remembered your site, and saw that you even had a contest, of some pretty nice color schemes. I hope I did not cause any problems, but I downloaded some of the drawings, and converted them to bit map format, in paint so they could be colored. I added some lines for stripes, and painted about four different designs, to see which ones were best. The only drawings I had major problems with, were the RS3, and RS3m which messed up all the colors. Thank you for the great web page, and drawings. Keep up the great work!!!

Steam locomotives: streamlined steam, like the Reading Crusader, CB&Q's "Aeolus", B&O's "Cincinnatian", NYC types, and the proposed but never developed to completion (in the 1980's) ACE-3000 (some plans were in the model rr magazines of the era). In general, end and top views of equipment as well as sides would be very useful. I know I want a lot, but that's the prerogative of those who find a good thing without knowing how to acomplish it.
Other comments: I'm at a loss as to how to actually proceed to use the "blanks" for coloring in a color scheme. Once you download the blank image, what do you next to actually put lines on the loco or car and how do you ad color. An "instructions of how to paint" section in the narrative would be most useful for those not astute in the world of computers. Just because I found this site on the internet doesn't mean I know what to do with it next!

During that time I personally ran all of the D&H Alco road switchers in the 4000 & 4100 series. To this day I remember many of the locomotives, and the equipment located in the rear hood. If any of your members have interest in the D&H I would be pleased to give whatever input I can. Also, I handled many of the 3000 class Alco switch engines. They were a rough ride and I didn't care much for them, therefor there is only little input I could give.

Since we found you we have painted up a storm, plus painted the roads the colors we think they should have been (HA-HA). Merry Christmas, you gave three railroaders a great Christmas.

Anyway, any present EMD or GE power that could be painted any of several different R.I. color schemes. Thanks

Other comments: When are we going to see Railroad simulations of the quality and variety of Flight simulators and the open ended additions that FS programs allow? We see more and more 3D but not of the quality of Flight Simulators. The computers of today certainly have the capacity and ability to do a really great job of simulation even to the joysticks and instrument panels and sim cockpits. I didn't know where to send this note but can you forward it to the appropriate people? THANKS

Equipment to add to the site: Any EMD models, mostly wide nose and Draper Taper Canadian National units.
Other comments: Excellent site. Very unique look at railroading. The units in primer for viewers to colour is an excellent idea, as it allows viewers to be creative, either by designing their own paint schemes or that of a fallen flag, or mimic a prototype.

Equipment to add to the site: GE CW6000 with steerable trucks, Gen I, like new CP CSX, and Gen II, not in production.
Other comments: I hate to nit-pick but your CW4400 are equiped with D.C. traction motors. The D.C. uses a set rubber shear pad mounts to counter motor torque, the a.c. uses a cast link with rubber mounts at each end called a "dogbone" for its shape. The units shipping out of Erie do not have shocks on both ends of axles 1, 3, 4 and 6. 1-3 on one side and 4-6 are opposite. None of my petty complaints make your artwork any less fantastic.

Other comments: Is there any chance of getting the original vector drawings as eps files, adobe illustrator files or CorelDraw files etc.? I am editor of ModelSpoorwegen, the newsletter of the Contactgroup NMRA Netherlands and sometimes need drawings of USA RR equipment. However, gif or jpeg files from the Internet usually do not have the resolution I need. Also, for my personal use when designing a new color scheme for my freelance RR, a vector drawing would make color changes much easier.
BTW, ModelSpoorwegen is NOT a commercial magazine, but a club newsletter, we cannot pay for contributions.
Thank you
