Off to do some coastal cruising up along the Alaskan Panhandle

Hi Friends,
The outstanding Willie's Santa Fe livery remembered me I always loved (and love) the trains (Real & models) and I decided to make some liveries (fictional, of course) inspirated to the most known American railways Companies..... I started with the Pennsylvania RR in the classic maroon livery (passenger).....

**mvg3d** · November 8th, 2015, 12:27

And these .....

The livery is for FSX (2048x2048), if You are interested in ......
However I'll try to make also the dark green (freight) version.

***Willy*** · November 8th, 2015, 12:34

Oh yeah!! That's going to be a must have. Outstanding work as usual.

And looking at them, I just realized an area that I've had wrong on my paints. I've got the ADF footballs shiney metal when they should be black. Off to make the change to the masters.

Hi,

Will these beautiful liveries be created for FS9 as well? I tried adding in the different textures from the United Airlines set from Ferondoe, but all I created was a blank model, so I'm obviously not quite getting the hang of it.

Hi Andy,
OK, I'll prepare also the FS9 version.... During the SM.79CS's intervals !!!

**mvg3d** · November 8th, 2015, 13:21

The Pennsy "Cargo" in the traditional "Brunswitch Green" .....

Wowsers Manuele! Those are sensational liveries. Looking forward to the FS9 versions. Thank you.

...snipped...

Indeed, what Willy said

**lemonadedrinker** · November 9th, 2015, 08:41

Hi,

I had some serious assistance from djs here about bringing textures into FS9 from FSX and these textures are from the original download to prove to myself I'm not totally past it!

and it is with many Thanks I post these two here.

Also many thanks to Martial Feron

for this beautiful repaint for the Lodestar from Milton and Team

Thank You all,

Andy.

**Maarten -** · November 9th, 2015, 08:55

Thank you very much, Willy and Martial, for the great repaints!

Cheers,
Maarten

**glh** · November 9th, 2015, 09:06

The railroad and older airline repaints look great. Please continue.

**djs1** · November 9th, 2015, 09:08

My pleasure Andy. I'm normally asking for help on here rather than giving it so a very pleasant change for me.

Finished the FSX version, need to do the FS9 stuff to the original bitmaps and package 'em up.

A somewhat obscure Swedish domestic cargo hauler.

**mvg3d** · November 9th, 2015, 10:23

Hi Friends,
I just uploaded the "Pennsylvania RR" liveries in two different packages (for FS9 & FSX), the FS9 version contains also DXT3 format textures while the FSX one contains HiRes 2048 x 2048 dds format textures. I hope You'll appreciate them. However I'm actually searching for "Great Northern" and "Southern Pacific" (Empire Builder & Daylight) docs ......

**expat** · November 9th, 2015, 13:03

Like the Penn RR and Airtaco paints - hope to see them here soon!

***Willy*** · November 9th, 2015, 16:59

Trying something new (for me) here. I just uploaded the Airtaco Lodestar to the Warbirds Library in a combined FSX & FS 2004 zip file.

***Willy*** · November 9th, 2015, 20:05

Found an issue with the Airtaco paints and hope to have a fix out tomorrow morning.

Thank you to all for sharing your work! Was this United scheme a hard one to convert to FS9?

**lemonadedrinker** · November 9th, 2015, 20:54

Hi,
None of this is my work at all!
This site has people of enormous talent who provide these wonders for us to enjoy and it is 'Thank you' to them.
I have to say that I have shown myself to be incapable of working out how to transfer Textures from one sim to the other, and it was only with the examples sent to me by djs here on the Forum showing the procedure he uses that I began to see the trees in the wood. I have my doubts as to whether I have remembered enough to be able to do another one. There are lots of tips in this forum post alone which explain how it's done

.
Andy.

Yes, bring on the railroad! They look great! I'll happily download any railroad liveries. Thanks!

***Willy*** · November 10th, 2015, 04:52

Just changed out the original Airtaco zipfile with the updated one with the engine textures (Can't believe I left the darn things out). Now the engines will match the rest of the aircraft.

Manuele, I really like your Penn RR liveries!

But they may not be as completely fictional as you think. I can't verify it, but I believe that Penn Central Airlines was started by the Penn Central Railroad, which I think is the same company that was also called simply the Pennsylvania Railroad, back in the 1930s. Their early, overall maroon/red livery is one of the alternate decal options in the old Williams Brothers 1/72 scale Boeing 247 plastic kit.

Their livery might very well have evolved into something like what you painted; it has a very late-40s/early-50s look about it. And if they'd stayed in business independently instead of merging into what became Capital Airlines, they might have flown Lodestars that looked a lot like your skins.

So you skins are fictional, but they have a suggestion of reality about them.

Hi Mick,
I think You are right, I just find this PCA logo on the Web :
http://www.aerobernie.bplaced.net/lo...Centr-logo.jpg
Its shape is clearly similar to the PRR one ..... But it seems the Penn Central was created in 1968 when PRR joined the NYC (NEW York Central) and the NHHR (NEW Haven).
