• DDM&G Postwar Boxcarby Dark DerbyOne of the first changes the DM&G made after the war was the two-tone gray "Mountain" scheme. It was first applied to boxcars like this in 1948 and became the road's signature passenger livery. Having boxcars in the livery made them decent express cars in a pinch. As electric traction became the...2.9k downloadsupdated 6 y ago
• DDM&G Hopper (Prewar)by Dark DerbyAs the ore jimmies of the 1890s began to show their age, the DM&G retired them in favor of larger, all-steel hoppers. This is a typical example, built in 1932 of a design the railroad had been ordering since 1926. Some of these would still be hard at work into the 1960s and '70s.2.8k downloadsupdated 6 y ago
• DDenver, Mesa & Gunnison No. 165by Dark DerbyWorld War II ramped up traffic for just about every major American railroad, and the DM&G was no exception. And like many railroads, it was soon found that their engine fleet was struggling to keep up. Double-headers were the norm, and the new K-classes in particular were stretched thin as every...2.6k downloadsupdated 6 y ago
• DDM&G No. 165 Tenderby Dark DerbyThe tenders for the DM&G's Big Boys were almost identical to the UP's "centipede" tenders. At first, they were painted with just the DM&G logo; the numbering was added in 1947 for easier identification.2.5k downloadsupdated 6 y ago
• DDM&G Hopper (Postwar)by Dark DerbyStarting in 1947, the DM&G began to paint their hoppers in this oxide red livery, which had been used on their boxcars since the railroad's beginnings.2.4k downloadsupdated 6 y ago
• DDenver, Mesa & Gunnison No. 632by Dark DerbyWhile hampered slightly by a little thing called the Great Depression, the DM&G's electrification efforts were generally successful, especially when coal shortages threatened their steam fleet. Arguably, those first electric engines were what carried the railroad through the Depression, as strugg...2.4k downloadsupdated 6 y ago
• DDenver, Mesa & Gunnison No. 445by Dark DerbyOne year after the DM&G's V8s were repainted, the 400-class "side-rods" got their turn. This attractive oxide red scheme was designed for versatility: it matched the oxide-painted freight cars and, if need be, the "Mountain Gray" passenger equipment. In use into the 1970s, this was one of the lon...2.4k downloadsupdated 6 y ago
• GGreat Northern No. 51by Dark DerbyA simple Great Northern livery for the center-cab switcher, seeing how it looks close enough to a General Electric 44-ton and my Pacific Northwest-themed layout-in-progress needed one. This was my first diesel livery, and the old one was surprisingly tricky one to get right; mostly just Photoshop...2.4k downloadsupdated 5 y ago
• DDenver, Mesa & Gunnison No. 649by Dark DerbyIn 1949, the DM&G's passenger electric fleet got a new look, ditching the old olive green for the railroad's new Mountain Gray scheme. Sleek and shiny, the new paint scheme was...essentially the old one, but refreshed for the forward-looking 1950s. The repainted V8s were crew favorites for decade...2.4k downloadsupdated 6 y ago
• NNP "Butterknife" F7Aby Dark DerbyAn underrated classic of F7 liveries, this is the "Passenger Pine" or "Butterknife" scheme the Northern Pacific's first F7s wore from the late '40s until 1953. This one's actually numbered as one of the NP's two FP7s. They were delivered in 1952, just one year before the two-tone Loewy scheme ( )...1.7k downloadsupdated 6 y ago

• BBundy & Smokey Mountain Railroadby BadeumusThis is my first rolling line layout I have uploaded to the workshop, while at the same time being the a recreation of the first model train layout I had as a child. It features the small town of "Bundy" at the east end with a large prominent smokey mountain at the west end. The layout includes t...1.5k downloadsupdated 6 y ago
• RRock Island F7Aby Dark DerbyIt's been a while since I've done a "real" livery, hasn't it? So here's a Rock Island F7 in the striking, as-delivered black and red. At some point I might do the red-and-silver "Rocket" livery to go with... Something I want to do is go through my backlog of standalone liveries (i.e. they don't h...1.5k downloadsupdated 6 y ago

• RRock Island F7Bby Dark DerbyThe B unit for my Rock Island F7. Surprisingly, there really is no lettering or numbering at all on the prototype, which a) fits Rolling Line's art style pretty well, and b) is a testament to how distinct the ivery is, that you can still tell it's RI.1.4k downloadsupdated 6 y ago
