A bit of a long-shot on my part, this is the end result of me thinking "Hey, I wonder what people would think of a Passenger Train Skin in R2DA." To be honest though, I'm sure none of you will like it.

This skin is unique because it has an actual historic basis. One might argue that Royal Thunder might have a more historic basis, but Purple and Yellow are kind of vague when it comes to a specific time period. The City of Cheyenne however, DOES have a specific time frame, and that is the late 1950's to late 1960's. The appearance of the skin is based off of the color scheme of the Union Pacific Diesel engines. Granted, Union Pacific engines today have the same color scheme as the 1950's Union Pacific engines, but the ones I had in mind were the streamlined E and F units of the 1950's.



The color scheme turns and weapon (Only shown is the Thompson) into basically a baby streamliner, mirroring the classic Union Pacific color scheme. The colors are indeed matched with that of UP Engines, such as the Armour Yellow, Signal Red and Harbor Mist Gray (although the grips are lightly colored to represent the locomotive trucks) along with the green iron stight representing the visibility sight on the front windows of the engine to help the engineer against sun glares. The "X-103" (on the other side of the gun would be X-104), part is a touch of added historical accuracy as it mirrors the time-table number of the City of Los Angeles, a real Union Pacific passenger train.

This skin would be available for mainly primary weapons and not melees.

Its...a long shot yes, but You have to admit its not something you'd see suggested on the wiki right?
