Would it be possible for anyone to turn this....

...to this...

The colors on DTG's Dash 8 are too dark and the letters are spaced a bit far apart to look realistic even as a new loco....

One more thing; how does one fix the messed up headlight? (When viewed from afar)

Idk...but my copy has no lens flares for some reason. I have a thread that goes into a problem that the joint and flange sounds do not play, only the running sounds do: viewtopic.php?f=29&t=14555

John you need to move the headlight forward or back just a bit. What are you trying to do? Get rid of the dark around it or what?

A good savior.
Will the mod be for download soon? And is it possible to texture the headlight so it can match the ditchlights?

Still lots of odds and ends but most of the thing is there. You guys want the undercarriage dirtied up sine the rest of the paint is kind of bleached out?

Looks great Buzz! A nice light dusting on the trucks would complete the look!

Looks tonnes better than the DTG textures that are off. Does this have only textures?
