A Few Canadian Oddballs

[christer]

Anyone remember this horrid paint scheme? Not sure how long it lasted, but photos I've referenced are dated around 1980. I'm sure glad VIA didn't stick with this:





Then, around the same time there was an ex-CP unit in mostly blue:


This RDC's blue stripes started fading rather quickly, and it ran for several years with the yellow showing through:


Finally, RDC-2 #6207, still sporting an orange/red door from its CN days with a small VIA logo below the cab:

Those sure are some ugly schemes but I'll give you credit for making them look so good in MSTS Christer. Nice Work Christer.

Eh, I rather like the two VIA F units.

Even "ugly" has a place in Canadian history. Take a look at some of our past Prime Ministers.

I like the F/A on the second F-unit... reminds me of the VIA F's that were around here for about ten years... now they are with the Pan-Am... on their OCS

Looking good! Is there anyway to offer a set of textures and Fa parts to fit one of the free F7 sets? I guess if you could please add the bell atop to your sets? I could alpha the right parts and fit the Fa to the V4 sets.

The 6400 is VIA's switcher in Vancouver and its blue with the yellow same as your 3 screenshot

You mean this one? It's pretty close, but the standard F-unit roof and top of the carbody area was black instead of the oddball blue as on the 1418.

Those look really nice. Pretty ugly paint schemes, but you did a nice job with them.

Ever heard of Austrailia's V-Line railroad? Those remind me of V-Line's paint scheme.

Everything looks excellent as always Christer!
