The AC Units should still be on them.

IDK if there is a AC Unit child object.

MDurdan did one for an NS GP38 repaint that's in the file library.

Any news on the Reskin?

Sorry I haven't gotten much time to work on it lately. I was messing around trying to figure out why the child objects were showing but they weren't in the .bin file. I still don't know but when I put them in a different scenario they are fine.

I have next week off so I will hopefully get some time to work on them.

I have a new PC as of X-mas so things are still a little disorganized, but I've tried loading several of my ACRR GP15s and could not get the removed child objects to appear. Only the ditchlights, driver, exhaust and other appropriate objects show. I used the Edit Assets tool in RW Tools to modify the bin files. Same with the CSX, NS and Conrail engines. Why the UP ones are still showing is a mystery to me. When I upload the GP15s, the Fittings folder and Lights folder are included as well. There are three bin files for each engine, simp, trail and exp. Your pic seems to show a trailing unit with no driver.

"could not get the removed child objects to appear. " That cause they were removed? Steve, what are you trying to say?

[tagsdm]

That's correct, buzz. The Edit Assets tool in RW Tools will display the child entries of a given bin file. Then there is a Remove Selected Child Entries button on that page. I'm pretty sure that's how I did it. I just left anything relevant to the ditchlights, and other appropriate objects like the driver and so on. At first, I tried to add the ditchlights to the plain jane MP model. But going backwards with Papa and MadMike's UP example was much easier.

I got some work done last weekend. The stripes are all lined up. Anybody have a source for the UP number font? Also, I haven't been able to find where the grab handles are located. Still searching...

The UP font I've used is called "Cityof". I can't remember where I got it, but it was free. I used it on all the ACRR repaints because it matched pretty well the UP numbers when using autonumbering.
