So I decided to do a realistic sprite version of my OCs and the first one is my trainsona, Roderick. I gave him brown eyes and a bigger face to fit the scale of this sprite. Below listed are the backstories behind his liveries.

1. Amtrak Phase III (1995-1997)
- Roderick first wore the Phase III livery that was exclusive to the Genesis fleet. It was also one of his short-lived liveries (his NWR lease unit one is even shorter).

2. Amtrak Phase IV (1997-2002)
- This livery is Roderick's personal favorite because he liked the clean look of the stripes. He was mostly based out of Chicago, pulling trains such as the Empire Builder and California Zephyr.

3. Amtrak Phase V (2002-2019)
- After an overhaul, Roderick acquired the then-new livery, but without the blue stripe below the red. His name is now on a nameplate instead of a decal.

4. Amtrak Phase V/NWR Lease Unit (2019-2021)
- When Roderick was sent to Sodor for a trial run in late 2019, he retained the Phase V livery, only replacing the shade of blue to a lighter one. The AMTRAK word was replaced with NWR and added NWRX reporting marks, his number font was replaced, and the word Coastliner was placed beside the logo to denote the new service the NWR was promoting. This was his shortest lived livery, only wearing it for just over a year.

5. NWR Coastliner Livery (2021-present)
- In early 2021, Roderick went into a major overhaul of his inner workings, after his lease had been extended long term. That also culminated with him getting the new Coastliner livery, based on Angel's livery but has coastline colors. He also gained Operation Lifesaver decals, which was a joint partnership between the NWR and Amtrak to promote rail safety on Sodor.
