can ANYONE create a tyedy a-b train?
or hippy? i am into the hippy style big time!

Railroads are our best friend they protect, save, move, give, and get!
give them gratitude which they deserve. All us RailBuffs dont even see the full potential railroads give!
to see it you got to be it!
All railroads are are steel laces on wood with big loud heavy machines on them! so simple yet so helpful!
Railroad the best, easiest, and simplest way to be and make a friend.
THE END

No one's going to waste their time on a totally fictional paint scheme. Unless it takes 15 minutes to repaint it.Many people will do "semi-fiction" like the Appalachia RR. But no crazy tye dye hippy crap. Oh by the way, are you someone time traveled from the 70's? I've never met anyone into hippy stuff anymore...

Well now I wouldn't say that...child of the 70's here. Earlier when people were painting the Big Boy into all sorts of shades, (I thought the plaid one was, um, interesting)anyway, I tried to Tye Dye it, just for S&G's, but it didn't work out.
Regards,
an incognito hippy.

Well when I meant anyone, I meant people my and bcdef's age... teenagers. My dad grew up to the Beach Boys (and still listens to them). He's not too interested in Train Simulator however, he's into Age of Empires right now! lol Every once in a while he comes in wanting to know why I'm making the windows shake with the Big Boy! lol After all, he grew up with a dad working for the Union Pacific and enjoyed going on those "PFE Hunts" when a P.F.E. car that was supervised by my grandpa would be lost and my dad and his dad would get in a car and drive around town looking for that train car. lol------------------------------------------------------------I'll never let go of the railroad that inspired me to involved with trains, the Union Pacific!

if you want graffiti get the graffiti pack in the library and just make your own. it's also not too hard to make your own reskinn I did one *I deleted it very shortly after cuz it wasn't quit*spelling* what I was expecting but got it in the end only 3 try's and 3hrs later i had a very wierd looking multi colored loco but it kinda got burned up after falling off of a steep incline on Marias pass and into a lake. LOLZ took it's whole load of 30 autocarriers hauling fords(yuck good thing the went in too I'm a chevy fan* into the lake with it! so yeah I deleted it, it was unrestorable and damn ugly! s**t brown and puke green with tan(was gonna be a camoflauge paintscheme but the company ran out of paint to finish it is what it looked like LOLZ) so yeah it's easy after practice you can find out how very easily asking if someone has a tutorial.

My Great Grandfather however, whom I never got to meet, worked for the NYC in Buffalo, NY. Don't know exactly what his responsibilities were, noone remembers what it was he did, and this really bothers me. Wish I knew for sure.
