It looks like the Amtrak one was changed (but the user messed up the replacement)
I think this is what he wanted.

Item 3 is closed. Voting has started.
Sorry Chris, You didn't follow the rules.
People even pointed it out to you. Maybe next time
(At those that were not so nice to Chris; Remember, not everyone is Picasso. The game is about fun, not skill.)
tommietomato: you had almost 3 weeks, sorry, but you missed the deadline. that was May 2nd (plus a few free days).
I can't chase you down...
We didn't have as many entries this time around. maybe it was just because it was busses...

Re: [Contest] item 2 toys posted, Item 3 Voting
Lets do trains for the next round, I tried doing a Penn Central one but it sucked.
Re: [Contest] item 2 toys posted, Item 3 Voting
Locomotives would be interesting but I think some more rolling stock first. Or not, whichever he feels like posting. lol
Re: [Contest] item 2 toys posted, Item 3 Voting
Well I voted.
I think some kind of metro stock to be "decorated" could be pretty fun. Espescially if we want to add some period appropriate urban decay to games as they move through the '80s.
Might not work with only one winner though, as all the cars would have the same tags and pieces. (maybe the world of locomotion has only one, very dedicated graffiti writer...)
So maybe conventional heavy rail stock is best after all...

Re: [Contest] item 2 toys posted, Item 3 Voting
in responce to mop and 3 pm's I got about graffiti contest..
the problem i have with graffiti in LoMo is that it is to repetitive. you see the same car over and over, sometimes an entire train of the same car.
I did release 2 graffitied cars into the set. My signature a few years back was a bombed Boxcar that said Plastikman from one end to the other.. hrm. that used to be in the set. I guess I took it out?
honestly In real life I think many of these people have talent. but most are idiots and ruin history... they have no clue that they are tagging the last (or a damn rare) fully marked fallen flag of an object. for example a PRR or NYC boxcar, so now it gets a repaint.. In addition they cost companies millions in cleanup and raise the cost of transportation. They cover reporting marks and hazzard labels that require a car to be removed from service till patched/repainted.
UP intentionally left a CNW DASH 8 unpatched, almost a heritage tribute.
it got bombed big time by a guy that claimed he was a rail fan .. Into up paint it went...
i think he ment he was a fan of vandalizing railroads..
(side note, UP gave the last unpatched SD40-2 to IRM last fall, that leaves just 2 dash 9's in CNW paint I believe)
on the other side of the coin, once and a great while i see a car go past and go.. OMG.. a great example was the stork grain hopper. I saw it in tehachapi and had to get a photo and google it when I got home. I found out it even had a blog to track it.. when it was sold and repainted, the new owner left the stork on it...
after the repaint http://www.flickr.com/photos/18170525@N05/2102316043
So no, I don't think we'll have a grafitti contest and honestly I feel it is a plague in the rail world.
Remember, There is nothing that stops you from bombing any object I post.

Re: [Contest] item 2 toys posted, Item 3 Voting
Thanks for your insightful comment, Plastik.
Graffiti and street art are a pretty complicated issue, and while both can really be beautiful on occassion, generally it is an inherently distructive, and increasingly stagnant practice. As a design professional myself (Architect, occasional graphic designer) myself, it can be tricky. It's hard not to see tags on a building as sacriledge, defacing the pristine example of a unique work. However the pieces themselves can have an aesthetic beauty of their own, and they embody the fluidity of the real world in which buildings must exist. It is this fluidity that gives graffiti its most redeeming quality. And it is also this fluidity that makes it so difficult for a simulated world like locomotion. Given a classic writter's canvas like a tired New York subway train in the mid 80's, even if every face of every car in the consist had a unique treatment, you would still end up with the same pattern of images repeating on every train. Also to note are that the examples I mention in both of my posts are historic. While freight stock is still the frequent target of people looking for attention, most metro stock in cities today is fairly clean save for the increasingly rare instance of a scratch tag. The underground graffitti culture that produced remarkable full car throw-ups and bombs has been steadily stagnating, and much of the willfully destructive writing that occurs today has little purpose other than to display the name of the writer. Many of the the most inspired and talented street artists today (and these individuals do deserve that title) have moved on to work that is genuinely positive.
Anyway, I'd love to get into a indepth and post-modern discusion of the aesthetic theory of graffitti, but someone with as low a post count as mine should try to stay on topic.
I made this post to clarify what I was thinking of in my suggestion.
Well I look forward to whatever pops up next at any rate!
Best,

I really dont think it would be productive to have a graffitti contest, for one, the essence of vandalism does not allow for explicit commissioning. What would be cool however would be a unit of older rapid transit stock, which just might happen to get bombed by a certain contestant.Remember, There is nothing that stops you from bombing any object I post.

I can't chase you down...
There were several problems which led me to not posting:
1 I am rescricted to using college computers
2 I can only use proxies
3 I cant post attachments on proxies
4 My internet at home is broken (some bug with the router, i think)
5 I can't pm with attachments, hence the request for emailing.
So, im not voting, this time.
Very much a retired regular poster..... If you can say that

hrmm.. we seem to have 1 runaway winner and everything else is neck and neck for second.
I know It should be closed. with my main PC down I have no clue what I could post for Item 4 or even assemble the Item 3 winners right now...
I'll keep the poll running for a few more days while i rebuild...
The blind thing seems to have made a difference. for the results...

Re: [Contest] Item 3 Voting. Item 4 contest started
Ack a bit of a warning I forgot to pass on...
The "underframe" is the bar that goes under the the entire car from coupler to coupler... umm it looks like you can see it inside the empty car when i look at the rock island one..
I painted it bright green in this picture...
maybe you guys should be aware of that...
It is is a must have the bar in a different color (IE white outside and black inside).. let me know, maybe ill make a cover for it inside the car.. otherwise I'm to tired to care tonight..

Woah, they are really good hoppers. I don't know what to vote for. But I think it's easy to guess the producer of the third one...
But I do hope someone does a Chessie hopper, there is so little Chessie stuff compared to other railroads.

Re: [Contest] Item 3 Voting. Item 4 contest started
I'd like to point out that coal cars will take about an hour to 90 min each to make... just 15-20 min for me to get the thumbnail...
If you really want me to make the cars for you..
Please... please put forth some effort.
I know some people are new to this. Not everyone is Picasso and I'm glad people are taking part in this..
the point is to have fun...
When it takes me more time to make the thumbnail then some people spend making the entry.. re-think and make a little more effort.
that way you are probably going to make at least the Honorable Mention and get to play with your item in game...
Do remember you can change you're entry (only once for multustate items
) sooo.. use that option...
@C3805 .. no it WAS NOT Lego Trains...

oh the 486... those were the days. I couldn't even begin to estimate how much time was "wasted" playing Transport Tycoon on the 486.
In exile until I have time to live again.
