Looks very good Shawn!

Thank you! Still a lot of work ahead for the ground textures though. Not entirely sure I am settled on the ballast..

An eastbound California Pacific manifest is headed up by freshly rebuilt/repainted C44ACM 5500 (rebuilt from a Feather River & Salt Lake C40-9), a C40-8.5W, and a C44AC-CTE.

Nice job on the fictional repaints.

Agree. I think the "burnt brown", yellow, and black is one of the most attractive fictional skins around, especially with the newer company logo.

Thank you, gentlemen! This new shape is making me want to expand my AC44 fleet again.

What they said!

Ten years ago to the day, I announced on TrainSim that I was "rather pleased" with a new repaint I did of Dick Cowen's USRA 4-6-2, as I would have obviously worded it back then. Said repaint just so happened to be the Full Bucket Line's excursion stallion number 1225. I can attribute 1225 as the locomotive that truly gave way to my identity as a fictional freak. Debuting her on the inaugural Bucket Limited (whose 10th anniversary is in 12 days) was my first attempt at weaving a story around my creations, which I would do many times over later on. More than that, I can call 1225 the locomotive who represents me as a train simmer; not just as an avatar, but as the excursion queen of the route that really got me into train simming and one that has stayed with me since. Happy 10th, 1225!
