Is anyone maintaining the bolster pin color chart yet?


 

The ZoCal group guys are asking about the color codes, and although we
all mourn Bill's passing, we must continue on, selecting others to pick
up the slack.

I would like to nominate Randy Smidt as he is the national modual
coordinator anyways, and in communication with all teh Z-Bend Track
clubs.

Anyone second this?

I'm all for it. Cliff did the second so its up to Randy. I've been using a simple green on white dot on my bolster pins but we haven't been running outside of our club yet.

Rob, you can just custom laser name the bottom of your cars !

Don,

I do have the master copy of the chart. Bill supplied this to me a while back
so I could help keep track. If we have additions, let me know. Thanks,

Don't forget that Michael Hilliard also started a color scheme for
decals that could be applied to the car(s) for identification. It had
the Railroads Monica in letters plus the owner's initials plus a 5 or
6 color scheme. Possibly you could get all of this wrapped together.
Michael's allows for far more combinations (like over 3,000 to
15,000+) if there were five or six 5-colored colored rectangles.
Probably not of importance for a tiny group like a local group, but if
the members get mixed up into different groups or go to national shows
then it does become an important factor] Find any message of mine on
ZCentral and you can see what one looks like.

I took a careful look at Michael's decals. You can get 6.25 x 10
(with 29 zeros) unique combinations. That takes care of Z and in fact
probably the whole universe. Joe should be dreamy eyed if only
one-ten thousandth of this many bought Z

I have Michael Hilliard's I.D. decals on all of the Golden ~ Blackhawk & Central City's locos and much of the rolling stock I take to shows.
They are nicely made and easy to work with.

Orange/Orange is available and I have put your name on that space. For
record, Ztrack is black/black. LOL!

If green on white is available, that's what I have been using. But I also know my limited rolling stock (weathered too) and my locos have BAZ BoyZ additionally on them.

Just before Bill died, I requested Orange orange. It apparently was
not recorded. I will stop using it. Tim you are welcome to the Orange
color. Jim Thomas


 

Well, since I started all this noise guess I should make a request.

Please put me down for GREEN-NO PAINT. If that isn't available try
ORANGE-NO PAINT.

Thanks!

John

John,

We don't have a no paint option. I can give you green green if that works for
you. Let me know.

John,

I am going off the last chart Bill sent me. Please send me the chart you are
using and I will update. Bill may have added a no paint option and I will
update the master with this. Thanks!

Larry,

Thanks! Bill and I also fought over the black on black cars on the layout. He
also seemed to find more than I did. LOL!!!!

Okay, I am updating the master. What I will do is add this to the modules
pages of Ztrack since I can't upload to the Z Bend Track site. Will this work for
everyone? John, thanks for sending the file!

I'm confused...the chart I'm looking at on the ZBend files section (last
updated 2/11/2006, it says) has Loren as Green-Green, and the bottom row
definitely says, "NO PAINT," with Bryan Keyser on RED-NO PAINT and Z
Track as NOPAINT-NOPAINT. Did something change?

Going back in time a little, but "no paint-No paint" did belong to someone. Bill Kronenberger used to say that anything on the layout that was black-black belonged to him. Since Rob Kluz is now taking care of the list, the "black-black" rule falles to him. Congratulations Rob on all your new acquisitions.

It should be attached (am sending direct to you as well so you should
get the attachment).

Taken straight from the FILES section:


If there's another place of storage that is accessible then we should
consolidate it.
