Not including my two originals, which made it to Model Railroader's Paint Shop, I did 66 TH&B locomotives - GP7s and 9s, along with switchers, and a couple in N scale and brass, too. The first few dozen were done by brush, and for all of them, the TH&B herald on the cab was done free-hand, with a brush.
I also did 23 Roco insulated boxcars in CN And CP lettering, 6 Athearn SD-40-2s in CN black&orange, 2 GP9s, 1 GP35, and 1 C-424 in the CN sergeant-stripe scheme, 37 100 ton cylindrical hoppers in various CN and CP liveries, 7 CPR RS-3s in various CP schemes, with block- and script-lettering, along with one in Action Red, 6 NYC F-units in the lightning stripe scheme, 5 Stewart F-units in the grey/blue/white scheme, along with a couple of Wabash PAs in the same colours. There were also several one-offs, mostly brass locomotives.
There was also a bunch of brass locomotives, mostly steam, and many of them for my good friend Ed (cn nutbar) - a lot of those got additional details before painting.
All of my own locomotives, steam and diesel, were custom-painted, too, and I would estimate that 90% of all of my rolling stock, past and present, got custom paint and lettering, too.
I wish that I could accomplish even half that amount nowadays.
