Well, here it is. I admit that I am bad at weathering these. I really don't know why but I can't get the dust and dirt to look good on them. I tried, here is what came out.

Then here is the clean one. Only two out of seven are weathered, the rest are clean.

Looking good.
Some day you will have to tell us how do you set a random function to use clean vs dirty locos in a train. Are you doing something in the dcsv?

Aha I wish that was something I knew how to do. Don't know These aren't even auto numbering themselves

Not so sure that worked out too well for a light-colored engine....

More black?

[Nitsujy12345]

I'm not so sure more black would help that...

In the mean time, I whipped up some ditch lights and positioned them to the front and back of this and numbered it to 1700.

I present to you ........ NS 1700:

WOW. These are turning out great!

Nitz - these units just keep getting better and better. On thing I was concerned about long ago, but you handled, was the logo and the lettering. Seeing the EL diamond on the Bergen ... is priceless!

PS. Have you considered the SH rolling stock for repaint? If yes, then I can retire and start driving!

You know i never could understand why people call the 3170 and the 1700 NS units...

Well... Considering, oh i dont know... They dont have the little "NS" submark above the numbering i guess it would be safe to say that the 3170 and 1700 aren't really heritage units but full fledged Southern and EL units...

Because it is an NS unit in an original paint scheme and is operated under NS lol


If anyone here has any modeling experience, how do I make it so I can have more lights that turn on with the main headlight? The GP15-1 someone made added ditchlights as a child object that worked as normal lights. I'd like to do this for the ditch lights on 1700
