Milwaukee GE 44 Ton Switcher (Late Logo); 28 NOV 2018.
Repaints by Rudi Jaeger, exclusively for DTG's payware Virtual New Haven Railroad (VNHRR) Springfield Line, which includes the required model for this repaint. Credits to the original DTG developer (Cesar Pach) for providing the textures which served as the foundation for these repaints.

Contents:
Repaint of a Milwaukee Road GE 44 Ton Phase-I switcher with later numbers and logo. There were fourteen 44 Tonners on the roster, with only three being General Electric products. The GE units were built between September 1940 and November 1941. They were numbered as 1690, 1700, and 1701; and later renumbered as 990, 991, and 992. This repaint features dynamic numbering to represent all three GE units. A folder containing optional coupler and hose textures is included (darker rusty metal), along with a backup folder containing the original textures (light primer-grey w/ rust).
------------------------------
Installation of the locomotive:
1. Ensure you have already installed the VNHRR Springfield Line.
2. Transfer the Assets folder (from this zip file) into your main Railworks folder. Note: There are no requirements to overwrite anything.
3. Copy the GE 44Ton_PhaseIc_NH.GeoPcDx file from the 'Engine' folder located here:
Railworks\Assets\VNHRR\Springfield\RailVehicles\GE44Ton-NH\RailVehicles\NH01\Engine
Then paste the GeoPcDx file into the "Engine" folder of the freshly installed "MILW02" folder located here:
Railworks\Assets\VNHRR\Springfield\RailVehicles\GE44Ton-NH\RailVehicles\MILW02\Engine
4. Copy the GE 44Ton_PhaseIc_CabNH.GeoPcDx file from the 'CabView' folder located here:
Railworks\Assets\VNHRR\Springfield\RailVehicles\GE44Ton-NH\RailVehicles\NH01\CabView
Then paste the GeoPcDx file into the "CabView" folder of the freshly installed "MILW02" folder located here:
Railworks\Assets\VNHRR\Springfield\RailVehicles\GE44Ton-NH\RailVehicles\MILW02\CabView
-------------------------------
Installation of the optional coupler and hose textures:
Note 1: If you already installed this option with my early version (old logo and numbers) of the Milwaukee 44 Tonner, you may skip this step.
Note 2: This procedure will overwrite 2 existing files (Coupler.TgPcDx and Hoses.TgPcDx). The new files and an "Original Textures" backup folder will be installed to:
Railworks\Assets\VNHRR\Springfield\RailVehicles\GE44Ton-NH\Couplers\
You can always replace my files with the files in the "Original Textures" backup folder if you prefer. Okay, let's proceed with the one-step installation:
1. Open the "Optional Coupler_Hoses" folder located in this zip-file and copy the resulting Assets folder into your main Railworks folder, overwriting the two existing files when prompted.
~ Mission complete.
-------------------------------
When using the scenario builder, be sure to select "VNHRR" then check the box for "Springfield" from the right-side flyout panel. Locomotive will display in the scenario builder's "selected" assets menu (left-side flyout) as "MILW GE 44Ton late".
