SFBR S2

[FlyanDive]

Hello everyone,
Long time lurker, first time poster. Now that the Peninsula Corridor route has been expanded I was going to make some scenarios based on what I've seen on along the route in real life. I was wondering if anyone would be willing to repaint Dogmouse's (Either the one here on RWA or the one included with the Springfield route) Alco S2 into the SFBR's number 23 and 25. As far as I can tell they are identical except 23 has a faded "Powered by Biodiesel' written on the side. It would be much appreciated, thank you!

Looks just like the Alameda Belt line livery. I will look into it.

Any up-close shots of the "Powered by Biodiesel" on the No. 23? All I really need to know is how it is worded on the cab.

Yudaman!

Yudaman!

I do what I can

Wow, that looks great!

Eh, it’s really more “Powered by ODIESEL,” not sure why. Might have been intentional (brand name?) or two of the letters might have fallen off.
This is the closest I’ve found:

That was after 25’s restoration last summer, they were both running at the same time.

And for anyone else interested DIB has a great segment on the SFBR and the UP’s South City Switcher that starts about 11 minutes in:

I’m not surprised it’s similar to Alameda. Probably both based on the SP’s tiger stripes. On that note I also love the Richmond Pacific’s blue and black.

Alright, thank you for the information. I also enjoyed watching those videos. It shouldn't take me long to do the No. 23.

If you want any other Alco S2 repaints, just let me know.

Alright, here is the No. 23 with the "Powered By ODiesel" slogan.

If they look alright to you, I will go ahead and package these up for the weekend.

[FlyanDive]

Yeah, they look great! Thank you!

Yeah, they look great! Thank you!

No problem

The repaint doesn’t need to be altered at all, it is after all how it currently looks! I do however, have an answer to what is supposed to be on the side. No, it is not some fancy brand name, the B and I simply fell off!
