Ocalicreek's 2010 EOY Challenge

[ocalicreek]

Thanks, Dave. That's exactly the kind of feedback I was hoping to hear. Either that, or a good link or two to a variety of producers. Still, Rail Graphics prices seem very reasonable for as many copies as you get, with the flexibility to make color changes, etc. with each run.

I've been looking at various schemes to determine what color(s) to go with and I think it'll be Dulux Gold (yellow) for most engines with actual Gold for the early engines and passenger locos. I may add a set in white for cabooses & rolling stock, and purchase a few data sets for 1900's-20's-40's equipment. I lean on the early side of the transition period, really the 20's and 30's so I don't want to use a font that's too modern, but I don't want 'Old Timey' either. I like Deco-inspired motifs, but this is Appalachia we're talking about so fonts would have been fairly conservative...we'll see.

Tomorrow I place a decal order and resume work on the 0-6-0T. I'll take pictures first before beginning any new work.
