CSX has some YN3 AC6000cw's. I just got the new CSX AC6000cw DLC so it would be cool to have it in YN2 and YN3. *NOTE* Not a repaint of this loco. Just the AC6000cw in YN3. So i would like to have Automatic Numbering.

We can hope DTG will do the YN2 & YN3 on marketplace one day. Some of the newer DTG locos are a pain to repaint due to the way they are mapped.

This one would work OK. The CSX logo is already in the right places and I believe the DTG one has auto numbering right?

Downloaded GIMP today and had a little play with it. I will point out I'm not one of the sites talented repainters so this is not that great.

Woah! That really good dude. btw you dont have to be a talented repainter to repaint a loco that good. Thats like 97% perfect. Just that yellow on the side of the nose needs to go away. Are you gonna upload it?

Here is something you should try. Some of the YN3 units had the new Box logo [CSX], Try to make the logo like that.

I'm afraid not. To change the logo would need a child object made or for the Geo file to be changed. I don't know how to make child objects and we are not allowed to share the Geo file.

There is a texture called CSX Logo. That IS the child object and you can modify it. If you take a close look at the CSX on the side of the YN3 you will see that it should be fatter letters to begin with, then if you want to make the bracketed one you would do that here as well. Hope that helps.
