Posted: Wed Jun 07, 2017 2:45 pmGreat repaint! Can't wait to download these and check them out! The older version that is available just doesn't cut it anymore and these far surpass the quality of the older model.

Posted: Wed Jun 07, 2017 3:35 pmAwesome! Can't wait to try it out! The only major flaws I have to point out is the incorrect Southern logo font on the side of the locomotives and it would be nice to have a Norfolk & Western SD40 in 2 paint schemes as a bonus: One with "Norfolk and Western" and the other with just the "NW" initials on it, then it would be a 100% win in my books.

It would be nice if you are going to criticize that you either post a picture of what you think is the correct depiction or at lease suggest where one might find the 'correct' font. Just telling someone their work is incorrect is not very helpful.

Quite sorry for not explaining properly. Didn't have the time to search up a picture of the real thing...

Re: Southern SD40-2 LNF
Posted: Thu Jun 08, 2017 10:44 amThanks guys! It's a "twenty-thirty yarder" repaint. It looks right from 20-30 yards away, just don't get too close!
