Model Railroading > Tampa Northern Railroad paint schemeDate: 03/15/23 07:34 Tampa Northern Railroad paint scheme Author: SALGUY Attached you will find the final artwork for the decals for my Tampa Northern Railroad. This set of decals is to be used in conjunction with MicroScales stripe set for Seaboard Air Line diesel locomotives.
I've also attached a photo that shows what our power and cabeese will look like. Primary power is going to be GP38-2s and SD38s and SD38-2s. Be sure to follow the Tampa Northen Railroad. https://www.facebook.com/groups/879490203259220/?ref=share_group_link ![]() ![]() Date: 03/15/23 08:56 Re: Tampa Northern Railroad paint scheme Author: icancmp193 Very sharp! I don't know about the orange number boards though. Would a "real" railroad be willing to incur the extra expense of maintaining a "non-standard" color?

Date: 03/15/23 09:10 Re: Tampa Northern Railroad paint scheme Author: SeaboardMan Looks nice, I also like it
john Date: 03/15/23 10:06 Re: Tampa Northern Railroad paint scheme Author: PasadenaSub Great scheme, easily seen to be influenced by its parent road.

Date: 03/15/23 10:34 Re: Tampa Northern Railroad paint scheme Author: CPR_4000 Nice. Is that Aberdeen & Rockfish slate blue or another shade?
Date: 03/15/23 11:10 Re: Tampa Northern Railroad paint scheme Author: pilotblue You might think about silver trucks. You could do a sample drawing with everything else as is. Regardless, I think it's sharp!
Date: 03/15/23 11:17 Re: Tampa Northern Railroad paint scheme Author: wabash2800 Very nice. I like the fact that it's kind of a heritage scheme in that it brings out a little of the Seaboard Air Line. How about a little emblem on the nose?
Victor Baird Edit: I see that Seaboard didn't put an emblem on the nose. Me bad. Edited 3 time(s). Last edit at 03/16/23 14:13 by wabash2800.

Date: 03/15/23 13:51 Re: Tampa Northern Railroad paint scheme Author: SALGUY That's the exact intent. It's clear that the SAL is the parent company. I'm even going as far as using SALs standard 3 chime forward horn.

On my railroad the Tampa Northern will handle yard and local switching activities. The parent company, the Seaboard Air Line, will handle through freight and passenger operations. The locomotive roster for the TN will consist of GP38-2s and SD38 and SD38-2s. Im thinking i may also patch out a couple of SAL units to the TN. Perhaps a couple of old Alco RS3s....
