Tom, as usual great work. Funny thing, yesterday I was looking at a train magazine from the 30's and saw this logo. I immediately thought of you since you're doing a lot from that era. It wasn't on a car, so your rendition really shows it off.

Thanks Dave! This decal set from K4 caught my eye. The IC seems like a “railroad standard” in railroad lore and history, so it was a natural choice. I had never seen that logo before.

In keeping with the subtle Rock Island undertones in today’s thread, here are some Rock Island cars I painted. You all have probably seen these before here…

This was a recent attempt at a modern RI car. The project went well until the clear coat darkened the paint, except under the decals…this one went back to the paint shop and returned as a N&W boxcar…

I will try another Blue RI car soon…

Tom
