Here is what I did on the weekend. It's far closer to being complete, but as you can see, there are still many details to work out. There will be 3 or 4 more units in this pack.
There are two things I want input on.
(1) I would like some city/town names from FBL 3 so I can put some "City of..." decals on the nose like on Tvrail's Dash 9s
(2) Remember the "Making the Bucket Fuller" slogan on the #9780?
Any suggestions of a good slogan to put on one of my units? Jonathan Nikiforovs.

RE: FBL AC4400 Update

Okay, I have decided on the city names. They will be Mount Oliver, Lake Hurst, and Frampton. As for the slogans, It's a coin toss between Paul and Stuart's suggestions. Wait... I'm doing 4 units anyway, so why not use both?
BTW, the unit you see (#9800) will be the "Plain Jane" of the pack, with no slogan or city name. Jonathan Nikiforovs.

If the FBL doesn't have any express passenger trains by this name, you could call one of the locomotives "The Bucketeer".Take care!Kurt

Announcement: I have decided on the slogans/city names for all the units, and the road numbers will be 9800, 9807, 9813, 9825, and 9838. Weathering will be determined by road number (older units will get more weathering)Jonathan Nikiforovs.

(Similar to the "Got Milk?" campaign)"There's no hole in our Bucket!" (Dear liza?)"Full Metal Bucket". (Stanley Kubrick fans?)"At FBL, our Bucket's aren't just painted on" (Modified PSA slogan)-Jeff

I'm afraid I had already made my final decision for the slogans, but I will keep your suggestions in mind for any future FBL projects.Jonathan Nikiforovs.
