That's a great photo and I just saved it.
I have done graphics work and model consulting for 3rd Rail for 7 years. I have built a library of graphics for that company as well for myself. Amtrak is the "Helvetica" font. The other graphics I developed off of photos in 2010. I work in AutoCAD and Photoshop.
Home made water slide decals are really hard to work with. I ruined quite a few in the process.
For the E60 project I may purchase an HO version and copy details in O.
This is my NJT version made out of Williams shells. Not entirely accurate but passable with some work.
It's just sitting on MTH C30-7 trucks for the photo.
Hi Jonathan:
That is excellent work. Paint the trucks black and get your roof detail and you are set. I might be asking for some more advice regarding the decaling at some point. That sort of work drives me berserk. I remember using good Microscale decals and Solvaset in HO scale and nearly tossed the model out the window.
Here is what I want for my system, exactly as it is:
I shot this in the early 2000s, when it was still 'sort of' OK to take pictures off the parking garage roof. The sounds that thing made were delightful.
I used to take pictures from the parking lot back in the late seventies/early eighties. I didn't know there were restrictions placed on photography since then. I have a friend from the UK visit with us a in 2012. He came up by train from business trip in Washington to stay with us a few days. As part of our "Train weekend", I took him first to the tracks near Zoo Tower. He was amazed that we could just walk onto railroad property without anyone approaching us.
