Hi, 

These are some models I designed last year but haven't shared here, and until today hadn't made renders of in the renderer included in the new Studio program from Bricklink. So here we are.

The cabins and frames are 7 studs wide per my standard of doing things. The F unit can house a full motorization suite up to and including a Power Functions 1 IR receiver. The hump at the rear of the roof shows where I've placed the receiver. However, neither model here as rendered includes motorized trucks.

Looking really nice! D&RGW and CSX, no?

Not exactly, I wasn't opting for a prototypical paint scheme on either. I did try to approximate, if not replicate, a CSX livery on the switcher, and I guess I was successful if I lead you to think such. 

 

Here's some elevation views and a dissection of the nose, for those that are curious:

I really like your solution for sleepers on this.   The model is well done.  What made you choose 7W?

I prefer to build smaller. It's a space and expense thing. Six wide would be nice, but given that LEGO track gauge is six wide itself it's not so aesthetically viable for me. Also, I don't see myself giving up the 40 radius curves, and narrower trains also means shorter train cars that don't over hang as much when going 'round.

Here's some color schemes that probably don't need to be guessed at:
