Yes, your road....Just so you know, we are now ready to launch the Greenwich and Meridian Railroad. Our own Catt created the concept for the G&M so as to have an international, or global railway, each person can decorate their cars and layouts in a manner that they see fit, but we’d prefer that you at least use the logos that are pertinent to your era. As for car numbers, ngauger will be listing the scheme that we think will work best.
We have created this sub-forum for anything and everything to do with the G&M railroads and how they operate throughout the world. We want you to show us what you’ve done. We can also discuss other aspects of this global railway including interchanges, deliveries and routing of cars. The idea is that we are one big railroad that spans the continents. We can route a car full of bananas from Brazil to Chicago or auto parts from Asia to Detroit. We can ship lumber from Seattle directly to Tokyo, or even coffee beans from Manila to Toronto, there is no limit to where the G&M goes, we're just not sure what route it will take to get there. Hey look, if we can have a Eurotunnel, we surly can have one that goes under the Atlantic and another under the Pacific.
We have uploaded several sheets of logos for you in three different eras, early (late 1800-1930), mid (1930’s to 1990’s) and late (1990’s to today). These are a combination of several logos that were submitted and voted best in a recent logo contest. There are three sheets dedicated to HO and two for N and Z scale. These contain logos for all eras and have varying sizes for different applications. There is one additional sheet, this one is a style sheet and gives you example of how different locos or cars look. The two colors, off-red and sand, are colors that you can use if you want to match our color scheme, but use your own imagination for your part of this railroad. Links to each of the sheets with an explanation can be found in the next post.
