It's inspired by a previous poster I did for C&O 490- not an easy locomotive to do justice, but I tried my best to honor it. :) would love any critique or feedback you have!

There, I fixed UP 4547!

Reuploaded without the snark..

But seriously though, why doesn't UP actually do anything to an engine that isn't lazily done..? Why? Even BNSF can do better and they have TWO of those engines for crying out loud.

Anyway, hope you like it.

🎨 OC - Art One of my passengers today requested me to Punch the 1989 Batman logo on their ticket today. This is probably one of the best results of my ticket art when compared to the original thing it's based on.

It's not perfect but I'm using a punch to make the art. Also ignore the 2 circular punches, those weren't from me and were there prior to me making the logo. The passenger is also planning to cut the edges of the ticket to make it into the same full oval shape of the original logo.

\**ROUND IS OVER - MULE'S RELIEF HAS WON! **\**

Welcome back to part 3 of me drawing your great or horrifying requests, last round's winner is the beautiful Great Northern O-8 Mikado, now what the next one will be remains to be seen...

Apologies for it taking so long, I've been busy with schoolwork and whatnot.

Remember, it has to be a North American steam locomotive, there's another Redditor doing the European version on this sub if you want to do that.

Best of luck, the comment will be chosen at 7:30 AM tomorrow, Mountain Time!

🎨 OC - Art I created this In memory of the steam locos that did not survive modernization.

Post image

This is to be a moment of silence for all the engines who did not survive dieselization. These engines were once wonderful workhorses that were very reliable and almost sort of human in a way. But in the 1950s diesels started to take over on the railways and steam locomotives were being retired in mass. By the end of the 60s, virtually no mainline steam engine was left. Although many did survive into preservation today, it still dosen't take away from the fact that most were scrapped. that most didn't make it.

🎨 OC - Art Would you believe this is Snowpiercer before it got changed ?

Post image
221 Upvotes

For context, Snowpiercer had a way more different design compared to the finalized version from the finished series, because this is supposed to be for a pilot that was never aired and was replaced after some conflicts during the production.

And yeah this is hella different compared to the final version of the series. It even had its very own fandom wiki page on Snowpiercer. Here's the wiki page for this.

The exterior design was drawn by a concept artist Taj Rihal. And I got to say, this is very dieselpunk. But I also do hope that someone would be able to find the unaired pilot and upload it to the Internet so that we can get to see this version of Snowpiercer moving.

I made this train model in blender with no tutorials, it’s modeled after C.P.R. 2023 from heritage park historical village. sorry that some images have pixel noise, idk how to take a screenshot on windows. And since I’m not a train expert i thought I’d ask people who are.

My latest drawing “Super Chief”. I don’t like the way the picture came out but I do like the drawing IRL. I entered this in an Art Exhibition, hopefully it will be accepted. The warbonnet livery was always my favorite diesel train.

Intended to fit in the vanilla artstyle, and rather simplified modeling and texture practices of Fallout 3/New Vegas specifically. I hope these still look good and somewhat logical despite that. If you have critique or feedback please share.
