I would love to see the Baldwin Centipede reworked into the Seaboard Air Line railroad version. It would be at home on the Miami route which is former SAL trackage. If you are interested, I can supply photos and info on the SAL models. They are almost duplicates of the PRR version except they had couplers on the B-ends. My only time seeing the SAL centipedes in action was between Savannah, GA, and Montgomery, AL. Two centipedes were bracketed by an F7B. I think the railroad hooked up every car in the Savannah Yard and sent them to Montgomery.

The textures would be a real challenge. A friend offered to help change the couplers. SAL had two paint schemes for the Centipedes. One was the citrus scheme like the recent E8 and the other was a freight scheme like the SAL F3 that was just uploaded to the RWA file library.

I moved that over here since we are on it. This is mainly a color check. What you think?

All the colors seem a little dark. Hope you can get them closer to the attached photo. Check your PM.

Thank you for taking this on! I have been wanting someone to do this ever since the Centipede came out. My grandfather used to tell me he loved watching these work their way through switches in the yard in Montgomery.

She slowly transforms from PRR to the Seaboard.

This is how you fitter away almost all day. This thing has more bits and pieces than the space shuttle. Enough for today. Gonna have to hand number since all the numbers are in the wrong place.
