Livery Edits

[IrishTrainScenes]

Does anyone know where the best place to photoshop train liveries is? I have a few ideas...

[knawa]

If you mean software then photoshop if you want to buy it or paint dot net for free is also brilliant.

 

If you mean base then if you have a careful look through this forum or the Irish Rail FOI requests you can find technical drawings for the entire fleet in terms of liveries. Then you will have the shape with the proper proportions for the loco/stock you want.

 

If you want to get into editing photos then there is plenty of youtube tutorials on editing photographs , some of the guys who do the wacky car photo edits would be of help like this.

What is the Irish Rail FOI address?

FOI is Freedom of Information. In Ireland, the FOI Act provides the public with:

• the right to access official records held by Government Departments or other public bodies as defined by the act.
• the right to have personal information held on them corrected or updated where such information is incomplete, incorrect or misleading.
• the right to be given reasons for decisions taken by public bodies that affect them.

A quick search on Google for "Irish Rail FOI address" threw up this: https://www.irishrail.ie/en-ie/about-us/company-information/freedom-of-information/request-records. There's a subsection for FOI requests on the fleet. It's quite the treasure trove actually - thanks @knawa and good luck with your project @IrishTrainScenes!

I’m following this with interest!

Will we see an 800 class in GNR blue, or a De Dietrich set in CBSCR olive green?

A Lough Swilly 4.8.0 in Donegal red? (Airfixfan, what ye think?)

Lined CIE green on NCC Jeeps?

NIR Red Bull livery on Cork 26’s or Drogheda 29s? CIE Black’n’tan on an NIR “wokfru” 4K set?

The sky’s the limit….

A Class 66 in Black'n'tan?

An A class in An Garda livery? (A la class 37 in police livery)

A 22000 in Arrow livery?

This will be interesting to watch

I’ll always recomend this thread which has not quite those things, but pretty close

 

(I think if you click on the image it brings to northern blue 109s flickr with some fun and some serious “what ifs” in Ireland and beyond)

I tried contacting him once but no reply…..  was going to ask him to do No. 90 in each of the actual liveries it carried, to assist the DCDR in choosing its eventual livery at the time when it was being restored for use there.

He didn’t answer, but DCDR ended up finishing 90 in the livery it would have had when new.

hello. inchacore paint plant. could do this for the 50th anniversary of the locos

I always though 1 Black and Tan 071 (lol) and one arrow 2600 would do nicely along with an orange 201
