    Good to see the GVR is still acquiring locomotives - and with the new logo [​IMG]

    Just a thought Johnathan, do all your locomotives wear GVR markings, or do you have some other roads, like CP, UP, BNSF, etc.? In other words, are all your locos freelanced?

    A powerful addition to the GVR Catt.
    Enough horsepower to pull anything.

    Beautiful! You must take a yard shot of the newer logoed locos next to the old. I think that it would look really cool showing the evolution of GVR's paint!

    What can I can I say that already hasn't been said. It looks great. I agree with Russ. Lets see a ccomparison between the engines and their logos.

    Looks great, how do you design the decals? Do you use a CAD program? I am starting a freelance called the Minturn & Tennessee Pass Railroad, and would like to design decals. (I am also open to ideas on the logo)

    I wish I could take credit for the new logo,but the only credit I can take for this one is asking Russ Hoffman (rush2ny) for some help in designing it.

    As you can see he came up with a real winner. :D
