Reefer Madness Strikes Again..

[hobo1960]

I admit it. I have become an avid repainting enthusiast. And while I'm still learning, I'm getting more comfortable with the process.

I have both the members of this community as well as a dear friend who is a graphic artist by profession to thank for my progress.

Before anyone asks, yes, I know I have a variety of previously-posted repaints to finish and get into our library here. The issue has been improvement and not wanting to waste others' time downloading and installing unfinished work.

At present, I have the following repaint projects to complete and share:

40ft Wood Reefers -- many
40ft Steel Reefers -- many
Single-Dome Tank Cars -- still learning how to repaint these using decals (in progress)
RoadRailers -- almost ready (thank you, Buzz for help)
Passenger Cars -- variety but still ways off I think
Other --- TBA

Meanwhile, this morning I wanted to share another project which is almost ready for sharing -- repaints of the R-70-20 Mechanical Reefers from Mainelines. I like the look of these cars and I think they fill in some gaps, as I've not seen them available anywhere (though I may be mistaken) ;)

Here's some previews:

Had time today to get one more car.

Of course, after I started looking more closely at each each car, I noticed that I need to move some details around on them a bit but I'm pleased with the set so far.

Those are definitely cool colors.
