Well buzz (and every other person) after a couple trials and errors,I finally created a repaint of the DSGDDR aux tender into Sp daylight and Warbaby colors!Take a look:

Credit to Soren Lerma for the transparent UP logo.Unfortunately I wasn't able to make the UPP transparent.

Let me know what I should make the trucks look like.The ones on the Warbaby tender,or the daylight tender?

Please note:This is only my 1st time repainting (besides the UP SD70MAC I'm working on).There will be some small things I might have missed.I'm suprised they turned out this good!

Looks Good! In order to remove the UP logo on it you need to "Alpha out" the logo. Buzz can explain it better than I can so give him a holler and he will help you.

Here's a sneak preview of the whole pack I plan to upload after I fix some things: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VwE-xkZ89O4

I made the three other tenders this morning.

Also how do I make the other side reversed do the text is left to right?The text is backwards on the left side.I put the logo's on the tender body is that why?

Yes, the letters being reversed is because the model just mirrors the texture files for both sides of the tender body. You will need to use a "decal" file for the lettering to show up. I would also suggest that you use rw_tools, or whatever program you are using, to open the texture files for the #4449's tender and then use your paint program to get the proper "paint code/color" for each of the colors used on the tender so that your AUX repaint will match the G-TraX model. This can make a big difference in the presentation of your work.

I tried repainting this model myself once, to try and make an aux to run with the SP Cab-Forward, and I had trouble with repainting the trucks from silver to black and also, the over-all shine of the model. I'm no expert by any stretch, so I'm looking forward to this repaint once you get it finished. :)

I've tried editing the decals file but every time I do nothing changes and "UPP" is still there.The only thing I can do is remove the UPP,but when the alpha channel is edited UPP is still there.

Today I uploaded the Daylight tender with a bonus file included. Hope you all will enjoy it!

To remove the numbers,just open the numbers file with notepad,and replace the numbers 814,etc,with 4 or 2 digit numbers. Doesn't matter what you put!That way,the numbers will not show up on the tender.Removing the numbers won't work,so take the easy way around!
