Looking good.
For me, it’s the Jackson & Burke Railroad. The Jean & Bruce RR didn’t sound as cool, but that’s how the name got started. :o The logo:

For those of you not in the know, that’s a Pileated Woodpecker. Actually, it’s a Pileated Woodpecker even if you’re in the know. 
Paint scheme seems to be changing as I go to 1:20 exclusively. It started off as cream and green for passenger cars.

But, that’s when I was doing the 1:22.5 stuff. Now it’s burgundy:

And, the engines are just black…

Cabooses are red…

Freight cars are mostly ruddy brown primer
My railroad is a poor narrow-gauge operation with more rolling stock than any poor railroad has a right to own! 
The “L&I” cannot afford fancy paint, they’re lucky to buy the stencils! Now merged with the local mainline they are known as the “L&I Central” A mix of named stock from the merger can be seen on the rails around here. “L&I” is named for the two towns it serves, as well as after my boy and girl. .

Boomer, the observation car was laser cut wood as part of a very long term project to create a fleet of passenger cars for several people. Not quite scratch built, but dang close. :o
We’re currently building a styrene coach version with our fourth vendor: http://www.largescalecentral.com/LSCForums/viewtopic.php?id=17724 Four people have signed on as fellow project nuts. 
It wasn’t meant to be this long term, but I think we’ve finally got the guy that’s going to see us through our vision.
We have two narrow gauge shortlines here in this neck of the mountains, the Pacolet Valley Railroad, and The Sunny View Line. The PVRR is the larger of the two, having connections East & West with the class A railroads and providing “hot shot” service across the mountains. Of course, also providing locals access to the rest of the world In these photos, the PVRR is running on SVL trackage.

The SVL only has connections with the PVRR. The SVL serves the locals in the many small mountain communities, with both passenger and freight service. Here you can see the SV depot, as well as the interlocking Brunt. Ralph

Mark I am digging that outside braced caboose. Is that kit or scratch built? Also I see you are a space 1999 fan. Bruce Same question on your observation car. Those windows are great. Boomer
Thanks Boomer…The caboose is a very recent scratch from a recent thread…Apologies to those who have seen this junk before. http://www.largescalecentral.com/LSCForums/viewtopic.php?id=17687 I built it to match my outside braced boxcars…Both built using Bachmann Spectrum flats as the base. I now have 4 of the boxes built… .

The L in the L&S is based on my own family name, The S on my Wife’s - she’s a Stuart. So then it was a matter of inventing town names to go with those initials. The Railroad itself, though I didn’t know it at the time, has a rationale identical to the original Portland and Ogdensburg RR, A line I only discovered a couple of months ago. But the L&S is far more successful!
L&S-marked equipment, as well as that of other roads with running rights will be seen all up and down the line, which hosts a lot of interchange traffic in this busy and prosperous part of the country. Paint schemes of the home road are archetypal. That is, cabooses must be red, locos, various, depending on their vintage, so a loco from the 1920’s-'50’s will be black, earlier locos as they might have been colored in their day. No surprises, as it’s important to me to show kids how it usually was. A variety of L&S logos and lettering styles may appear on the RR, depending on the vintage of the equipment.
Mine is the Deadwood & Black Hills Western. This is a fictional line derived from real narrow gauge railroads, Deadwood Central and Black Hills and Ft Pierre. I used the D&BHW as the initials in similar fashion to D&RGW. Name a City, insert &, then put a region, and finally a compass direction.

I got logos for the my stuff but I havent taken the time to apply any yet. (Sorry Stan). My locomotives are mostly black with a graphite colored smoke box. Although I was recently talked into leaving my K-27 with a green boiler. My passenger car is Pullman Green with gold lettering. The other one will also be pullman green. The rolling stock is whatever color. As my railroad has aquired much of its rolling stock second hand.
Loving the logo’s…May have to convince the CEO we need one!
Boomer the first 2 photos I thought yuck what was he thinking? Then I scrolled down to the 0-6-0 and the Forney and they look GREAT, then back to the caboose and you know what the colour works. My RR is called the Rock Root and Pup Poop Rail Road or the RR&PPRR . With 2 Cocker Spaniels that have the run of half my layout they like to leave presents for me and when I was building it there were plenty of Rocks and Roots to deal with. The RR&PPRR is a modern day tourist line that operates geared steam locos as tourist attractions and sometimes but rarely for revenue runs. The 2 diesels I have, a USAT NW2 and GP38 are painted up in the local colours of the real Cape Cod Central and they run my freight for the CCSSS&CC which is the Cape Cod Souvenir Sand Supply and Coal Company. They haul a string of 8 coal hoppers to a junction then the special sand is taken by 6 covered hoppers to a onsite processing and packaging plant. The RR recently acquired a ALCO S4 that I planned to paint in the CCC colours but then thought about another local now defunct line that used to run through my home town when I was a kid named Bay Colony. That is a future project. Another future project is growing and transporting cranberries. The 3 20’ boxcars are already painted. The MAC Speeder I’m building for the challenge contest now has the cab painted colonial red so it will be owned by the Cape Cod Central. That’s all for now. Nice work guys.

The Allegheny Valley was a real railroad that ran up the Eastern bank of the Allegheny River from Pittsburgh, Pa to Oil City, Pa. It was absorbed by the PRR in 1900 and became part of their Pittsburgh to Buffalo NY sub. We used to live about a mile from the original RoW This is the real AVs Herald, but I’ve never had any made.
(http://www.the-ashpit.com/mik/alleghenyvalley.gif)
I appropriated the name, and much of the history for my timeline. But My AV is narrow gauge with an East Broad Top flavor. I HAD been sticking with a modified Great Northern “Glacier Park” scheme for all the locos for almost 20 years.

Not that you could usually tell after they were weathered…
(http://www.the-ashpit.com/mik/P1010027.JPG)
However, one of my recent projects made me rethink the paint scheme quite a bit… at least for passenger locos. I really, really like this Pennsy inspired 2 tone green w/gold look.

Oh, and I even have 1870s scheme
(http://www.the-ashpit.com/mik/P2240007.JPG)
An 1860s scheme
(http://www.the-ashpit.com/mik/P3020024.JPG)
And even an 1850s one… if I ever finish it (Scary, huh?)

Boxcars come in 2 colors, “mineral” (usually Burnt Sienna acrylic) or Polly S PRR Tuscan. Hoppers are Krylon’s camoflage ultra flat dark olive. Cabeese are classic bright red w/ white trim The passenger cars have 2 schemes as well. Basic prototypical Polly S PRR Tuscan on B’mann coaches, and Kimmee’s blue and yellow “Hollywood Musical” scheme on her Kalamazoo ones.

All the custom decals are from Stan Cedarleaf. He does great work and is a real good guy/ Various build logs, tips, general information, backstory blathering, and bunches of photos are here: http://www.the-ashpit.com/mik/layout.html
Funny what links your 9 y/o Dell Laptop still saves for you to find… Ok, I’ll bite. Here is the first try from WAY back…
(http://1stclass.mylargescale.com/calenelson/nbrr3.jpg)
Since then we’ve added 1 more boy and 2 girls, so I’m thinking the NBRR may begin sharing the line with something else? this looks more like what Stan did for me on the Annie
(http://1stclass.mylargescale.com/calenelson/NBRR%202.jpg)
as seen here:

I’ve finally given up the idea on the Fn3 cab and will go back w/ the Original cab and finish lettering etc…We like that green, it’s the same one Bruce used so often and I believe it’s a discontinued color from Krylon. I still have a few cans saved for a rainy day… Visitor Engines: Back before Bmann came around, my 2nd born was a Thomas FREAK so I did this for him: lettering by Del @ G-Scale Graphics

Our little ‘wannabe’ farm is called the Magnificent 7 Farms (there are now 7 of us, and I believe we’re pretty magnificent). it’s the logo to the left and below…I may try to move that logo below into something that can work on the RR to help further our branding effort- (and I’m loving the 0-6-0 Saddletanker, is that the PIKO? cale
Originally, I had the ““Bluestone Southern”” roadname on my N-scale stuff… When I went to large scale, I carried my roadname over… Locomotives and cabeese are Dark Blue & white…
Rolling stock varries… Some dark blue with white lettering, some light gray with Dark blue lettering…
RDC’s are done like Boston & Maine used to paint their RDC’s:
You know I’ve seen all of these before, but it’s great to see them all in one place…And new shots too!
Neat stuff!!
Mine is the Lakeville Amboy & Conneaut Railroad. It’s named after the three names the area I live in has been called. They also represent the three major towns that my narrow guage railroad serves. Locos are black with a white stripe and red window frames.
(http://i73.photobucket.com/albums/i231/paintjockey/august2009159.jpg)
Cabeese are red and company colors are Tan and Dark Green and Burgandy.

Boomer said:Bluestone was just a name that evolved from my choice of colors, as in, I like dark Blue... The "Stone" part came basically from my logo....
Andy I like that caboose paint job and it is refreshing to find some one that not only knows the meaning of the term cabeese they use it properly in a sentence. :-) Where does the name "Bluestone" come form?
The Bluestone Southern logo is diamond shaped, with the left and right corners being a smaller diamond… Diamonds are sometimes called “'stones”"…
Hence, ““Bluestone””…
The Southern part came from ““Southern Pacific””, as my Lomotives are basically lettered in their Bloody nose paint scheme, prior to their “'speed Lettering”"
Oh, I was going to ask if Bluestone was a reference to Copper Sulphate. When found as a mineral, it’s called bluestone. Somehow seems appropriate that Andy’s locos say BS on the front. Asylum Valley N&D
Not the best photo available, but …

That’s an early photo. More recent stuff is sharper, and smoother… Here, maybe this is better?

I came up with the name West Virginia & Kentucky during the HO days prolly 20 years ago, its come and gone a couple of times in Large Scales as scale and focus wandered, but seems to have stuck in for good this time. The layout is a NG line ownded and operated by a larger common carrier, it was built as an independat line that interchanges with several other lines so there is some variety in road names and colors seen on the rolling stock The locomotive scheme is a nod to Western Maryland colors…very railroady and tasteful I think…
(http://freightsheds.largescalecentral.com/users/bart_salmons/_forumfiles/no12511.jpg)
Purple is my favorite color, and since its a rairity in the railroad world I chose that just to be different…
(http://freightsheds.largescalecentral.com/users/bart_salmons/_forumfiles/triplecombine28.jpg)
The majority of rolling stock is ruddy brown primer …
(http://freightsheds.largescalecentral.com/users/bart_salmons/_forumfiles/ebtbox24.jpg)
with a few more colorful choices…
(http://freightsheds.largescalecentral.com/users/bart_salmons/_forumfiles/0829201106.jpg)
The lone caboose right now is an ancientt rickety patched up job, but the new steel framed ones that are being built will be RED like a caboose was intended to be by God…

My wife’s nickname is Peggy, mine is Dick. I named our RR with a western theme "Denver and Pacific Falls. Since it’s branch line type operation the locos are in their original schemes, whatever they were. Freight cars, likewise. Haven’t gotten around to lettering the cabeese, they carry their original owners’ colors (and names). My passenger cars except for the diner, are all pullman green with black roofs. They are all equipped with Kadee No 1 couplers, San Val metal wheels, and – in their only acknowledgment of modern times – LED lighting. They all have white Plantain font lettering.
(http://freightsheds.largescalecentral.com/users/dick44/RR%20paint%20scheme/CDL_2.gif)
My diner is a bright blue with aluminum painted roof and trucks. Lettering is black Helvetica.
(http://freightsheds.largescalecentral.com/users/dick44/RR%20paint%20scheme/CDL_3.gif)
I’ve also got a 3’ narrow guage line called the California and Suthern. It’s logo is like Colorado Southern, only different. I’ve only got one box car and I’m in the middle of building an auto carrier on a 20 foot flat car. Probably use Plaintain on it as well. CS cars are primer red or primer medium grey.
