Imagining VIA Heritage

The wait is over! It's been awhile, but I finally finished the first of my "backlog" videos. I've always wondered what a VIA Rail heritage fleet might look like, and the advent of their new Siemens trainsets prompted me to dig in and create some Canadian heritage units of my own. In the end, I picked five iconic paint schemes from VIA's history, and got to work adapting them to fit the new SC-42 Chargers. I think the results are pretty cool! 0:00 Intro 0:29 Heritage Roundup 1:45 Preparations 2:10 Sketching Ideas 5:32 Scheme 1 - LRC 5:59 Scheme 2 - Early VIA 6:42 Scheme 3 - Turbo 7:59 Scheme 4 - F40 Grey 8:55 Scheme 5 - P42 Blue 10:45 Completed Schemes 11:18 Final Renders 13:56 Thanks for Watching! Thanks to ‪@alcosrarities‬ for lending me the KCS photo I used in the intro. He's got a really cool channel highlighting historic diesel locomotives, so be sure to check him out!
