Repaint of the Rio Grande F9 (California Zephyr DLC) into R&N F-Units

I think they look really cool, and thought they would be really cool to see in TS. They are ex. Norfolk Southern and were sold to the RBMN in 2019. They had their first public excursion in mid-2020 and were in regular service ever since, running the OCS (Office Car Specials) and also the Fall Foliage trains.

I have a mental image of Buzz's camper sporting a Santa Fe warbonnet livery.

Nope nothing that exciting just a vintage 25 footer interior pretty much replaced or updated.

After some discussion and remembering that these were actually made from F7s it was decided that we would switch the paint to the Feather River F7 model. This is about it. Off for beta.
