Something a little bigger this time:






Comments and/or suggestions are more than welcome!

Looking good for the most part. Only thing I'm not to crazy for is the giant circle/logo on the nose. I would add some tiger stripes. But then again, I'm a sucker for them stripes.

Unfinished but ya get the idea, heh:

Tiger stripes? There's no tiger in Hawk & Badger.

I didn't think the H&B could afford such a new unit.

...or the H&B logo - the one on the side.

Why an eagle?

Well, an eagle is like a hawk? Maybe? Your avatar would look great on the nose.

Besides all of that, you can't afford a Pinto let alone this locomotive.

So you guys want stripes huh? Alright then, I'll experiment and see what I can do. If Hawk could send me a copy of his avatar I'll place it on the front and see how it looks.

You know, it's weird. I could've sworn I was just making an R&WA SD70ACe here so....how in the world did these happen?

Awesome Chessie unit! CSX/ NS Heritage units anyone?

The NS ones are already done, thanks to Lionel: http://i.imgur.com/60lbq.jpg

oooh...shnazzy fantasy stuff....but in my opinion the conrail stripes should stop before the engineers walkway hits that step up...ya know?

*cough* WC, SOO, MILW heritage units anyone? *cough* lol sorry to copy you Chessie

I don't think my avatar will be big enough. You can get it fairly easy by right clicking on it and selecting 'Save Image As...'.
If it's not big enough I can get you one bigger. I have the original, and a couple of others.

Edit 1: Can you use a png with an alpha transparency, or a pspimage format with a transparent background?

PNG with alpha transparency would be fine. Whatever's easiest for you.

I guess you were posting at the same time I was editing my previous post. Let me know which one you want, or all three.

I think your regular avatar would be good since everyone would recognize it.
