BTW, Sorry about the duplicate work on the SOO caboose, it was only today that I saw Buzz's recent repaint -- which also looks a lot better than mine. *!embar*! Sorry!!!

Great work, Michael. Thanks for all your contributions to the Railworks community. Can't wait to get these in some scenarios. Too bad we don't have a Canadian mainline route.

Yeah I´d love to see those waggons in CN livery. !*brav*!

BTW: Michael, i have a repaint from you with the Spelling "Canadien National" , white tankwaggons, available in the File Library, is that because of the Copyright, or just a misspelling?

You may need to log in to see this but here is an example:
http://www.railcarphotos.com/PhotoDetai ... toID=20615

Its French Canadian for 'Canada', and if you are wondering what the difference is between French Canadian and French, its similar to Spanish (Modern - from Spain) and Spanish (Mexican). Another example that is making some news is Portuguese (Brazil) and Portuguese (Portugal). Apparently in this case the Brazilian version is the dominate form of the language (especially in software).

Hi,

Thanks for the info about the CanadiA/En. I thought it might have something to do with French, but basically I just painted what I saw on the pictures without giving it much extra thought. *!embar*!

The first few uploads are online now, by the way. THANK YOU, HAWK!!!

Also, there's more where these came from:

These are awesome Michael. Thanks so much!

I have a question for you. I was thinking of doing some CP Rail repaints of the RSC GP9 but I haven't been able to find a good usable version of CP's "Pac Man" logo. Would you have one that you could share with me?

*!!thnx!!*

Hi,

!*lho*! "Pac-Man logos"? That's brilliant, never heard that before, but then I didn't know anything about CP before doing some research to paint these cars. !*salute*!

Anyway, for my models I painted these "flags" in Paint Shop, so I can't guarantee for their accuracy, but please feel free to use them in your own work.

These two PNGs below are the largest versions I have of them:

Well they do bear an uncanny resemblance to Pac Man don't you think?

These look perfect Michael. Thanks again! !*cheers*!
