This model is a Seaboard Coast Line repaint of Dick Cowan's freeware Britkits GP-9. I created this repaint to switch the former Seaboard Air Line yards and surrounding area in Miami, Florida.

I apologize for a trade-off I was forced to do. The prototype has yellow stripes extending around the nose. When I tried to add the horizontal lines, one side was out of line (???). If someone can help me with this issue, I will gladly release an update.

Hope you enjoy!
Harry

Do you mean the stripes don't line up around the 4 sides ? I had similar problems with those models. It looked to me as though the mapping of the bitmaps to the model was off by a few pixels here and there. What worked for me was to move the stripes up / down one or two pixels at a time and then constantly eyeball the model in the sim. Eventually i found a reasonable compromise, but it was painstaking work.
