Changing the livery on existing train diagram drawings

[JamesHorrell]

Well this is what i do in my free time and it is getting computer drawn images which are made by Unisouth on Wikimedia and all i do is to recolour the train draawings he does.

Heres A link to his page: (Sadly He Stopped making these types of drawings in early 2009 but i have sent him a message asking him to make them again but i don't think he has been on his account for a while)

So This Class 158 was done in 2 mins as i left the old livery on and changed the logo so its a Ex EMT Northern Rail Class 158.

and this is what i think a Northern Rail HST Would look like.

Please Note i have only changed the colours of the train and that i do not own any of the copyrights for the original drawing and that they belong to Unisouth.

Maybe you could do the 2 car voyager in northern liviery?

Well I'm doing a Class 222 At the Min but i'll do a Voyager after.

Well here's The Class 222 And this one is the Northern Rail livery as i missed the white bit on the HST so i may redo that.

 

[Yew]

That looks pretty sweet, decided on the next one?

 

[Temple Meads]

They look awesome mate!

Could you possibly make a Class 59 with a slightly custom livery please?
PM me if so.

I'm Going to do the Voyager next and then the class 59 as it will be harder to do.

Northern Rail HST looks awesome! Top job!

I've never done such creations on MS Paint, but I do use Google Sketchup to create 3D models of trains and rolling stock. I've done a 313, a 317 and half of a 365, and I have the body done for a HST but it's quite tricky.

I like the northern rail livery on the HST looks really good.

 

[T163R]

They look awesome !
Do you start from nothing or do you use the basic train diagrams you can find on Internet ?

I use the Train Drawings which can be found on Wikipedia and i just repaint the train

[sonic2009]

Well depends on how big ajob it is changing the livery over like the northern class 442 took 15 mins but the Class 450 Took 20 mins and i'm doing one in Virgin Livery Now Should Be Up n the Morning.

 

[sonic2009]

Thank you.

If you could do something in a Sonic the Hedgehog Livery that would be awesome

 

[JamesHorrell]

Well Heres the Virgin Trains Class 450 which i moved the first set of windows back on the driver unit and the back unit so i could fit the Virgin Logo onto it.

i need to chnage the blue around the windows.

If you can do that on MS Paint, imagine what your work would look like if you did reskins for Railworks and Trainz! JustTrains and Oovee would be queuing up to employ you!

 

[MK Tom]

These are awesome. The East Coast 158 was especially good.

Here's a request if you're happy to take them: a Silverlink 350?

 

[HST Power]

Would you provide a link to some Wikipedia train drawings for me? I wouldn't post anything I do in this thread (as it is yours of course) but I'd be curious to have a go at this myself.

I did a stupid. I was about to say "I wonder what a HST looks like in SWT colours?", and then I realised...
probably a lot like this.

 

[sonic2009]

Can you do a 158 in a Sonic the Hedgehog Livery

 

[HST Power]

The OP is right, this is actually incredibly easy to do.

[MK Tom]

Thanks for the Silverlink 350, that came out even nicer than I expected. I'm almost tempted to wonder what it would look like in NSE!!

I'll try and have a go at the livery for you tommorow night when i get home from school.

 

[HST Power]

Yeah i know who he is but whats the livery.

Traditional sonic colours are blue, red and yellow I believe. A cartoon Sonic might look quite nice on the cab door of a 222.

 

[43021HST]

Anyone wondered what a HST would look like in NSE livery? for the note I didnt add the lettering on it, because I found it too fiddly but you get the idea.

Actually this livery has a bit of a back story which is true, at the time NSE was considering replacing its loco hauled on the Waterloo to Salisbury route and one of the options was the cascade some HSTs. It never actually happened because the engines wouldnt cope with the stop start nature of the route.
